The sun descending;
winter’s breeze through the catkins,
sharper on my cheek

The sun descending;
winter’s breeze through the catkins,
sharper on my cheek

Oak-seers’ footsteps
hid by winter’s frozen shawl –
Whispers on cold winds

Young ones love the frost
They hanker for drifting snow
I watch from inside

The leaves have vanished
Winter’s left his calling card
The spirit renews

Momentary spring
Glimpses of life in colour —
Snatched by a snow cloud
