Winter in the Country
a poem by Peter Olby
from YAM
A wild wintery wind –
The leaves have left
The trees are bare
Stretching their naked arms
To the dark cloud-rolling sky
All nature has left its summer beauty behind
Stark wonderous black countryside
Fills our gaze
The world has come to rest
Till Spring stirs anew
But winter has its own beauties
Moss covered walls
Jack Frost’s paintings
Like shimmering white lace
The darkened sky spotted
With sparkling stars
Beautiful ghostly moonbeams
Cast shadows –
How much I love all
These beautiful winter gifts
From Mother Nature
