Winter Within

The last leaf has fallen

And the soil has turned cold

Wind whispers warnings

Death follows the approaching storm

The last pair of wings

Has fled these lands

Guided by the cold white light

Frozen rain falls

Freezing stream in my veins

The sorrow of my heart

Burden unseen

Is this winter within me

The first veil of frost

Thin ice that calms the waters

Tranquility was brought by the passing fall

The first snow has fallen

Dark woods stand silent and tall

Set on fire by the northern lights
