Scratchy rigid branches brushing textured skin. An array of harmonic creatures exclaim their melodious tune throughout the sprawling mossy bramble. Droplets trickle seep absorbed by leafy underbrush. Gentle fog engulfing rhythmic swaying towering cedar giants, Lucid amongst piercing golden rays. Forever the unknowing growing, growing My frozen heart slowing, slowing. Winterβs icy chill stealing my final breath. Feeling the warmth drain from my frigid soul.
