TRACKS THAT'LL NEVER BE AGAIN

The quiet sky so gentle
As time proceeds
The leaves begin to flee.

The trees prepare for
The snow that will cover their twigs.
The sky darkens and proceeds with
The plans for the nocturnal hours.
The rumble of the season
Approaches much faster now.
As the families prepare for the worst,
The white glistening snow flakes
Fall one by one.

The lightness of the new season,
Warms the hearts of the children.
They laugh and play as they
Catch the white snow on their tongues.
Warmth and darkness now settles in the
Sky.
The children run to the house
Looking back at the tracks
They'll never see again.
