Clenching the bark of an icy branch
as it's too afraid of letting go
of being forgotten, buried
underneath the frigid snow
 
As it is touched by winter
withered from the cold
its stem quivers from a breeze
thus makes it loss ahold
 
Dreadfully swirling within the wind
never will you hear its cry
nor know the pain it feels
falling through the frosty sky
 
A life frozen by winter
as it gracefully lands upon
to be buried beneath
glistening white, forever gone.
