winter take all

conserve
Written By MaryJane Nordgren

winter take all

autumn has been preparing

conserving, contracting

surface area needing sunshine

bodies needing food

dropping leaves

setting up lairs for hibernation

reminding persons

of the finiteness of life

and the need to be ready

to face infinity if not strong

to embrace rebirth of spring
