Beneath the shallow
Winter Moon
i watch lowly
from distant hill
pallets colors of
muted light
paints the
landscape
in shades
of
grays
lifeless trees
guard
lifeless hills
reaching up
like
bony limbs
fingers
forearms
stretching forth
to pull the moon
from high aloft
bitter cold
gropes winter's
night
still as death
beneath a grave
snow and ice
shackles earth
in cold
shadows pale
from orbs
dim light
creeping slowly
overhead
disc it arches
through
blackened sky
shadows shrink
elongating
again
sphere retreats
or' yonder ridge
once more
moon
finds a place
to rest
'til darkness
awakes
It once again
