Winter Wine

I stand alone...

drinking

in the season,

 

touched by

Mother nature's

Summer shadows...

now long gone in the

blinking of an eye,

 

remembering the

breeze that felt like

butterfly wings,

now a bitter wind

dances across my cheeks,

 

liquid...firm as crystal

suspends on boughs;

its grip fragile to the touch,

reminding me of my own

vulnerability...in this ever

changing terrain,

 

as eagle glides on

Winter's frosty chill;

its existence raises my spirit,

so I linger here a while...

feeling dreamy as moonlight,

 

a wolf howls in the darkness,

hidden from view by a

black velvet night,

 

only the million jewelled stars

sparkle...sending magic rippling

through the ever changing atmosphere.

Hi Bear...I think this could be a bears terrain,  it's the kind of place I could imagine a bear wandering.  I'm so pleased you enjoyed and that I could paint a picture for you.  Thank you for reading and letting me know.  Jenny.

Jenny is it? Very well done ^^ just the last bit spoiled it a little bit. I guess I like consistency but I'll definitely have a look at some of your work some time! :)
