A Winter Mist

On travelling to town this morning on the bus I noticed the hills beyond the town were shrouded in a chilly mist.

Beyond the town on sullen hills

Descends the winter mist,

Hiding summer shades of green

That once the sun had kissed.

Trees now devoid of leaves,

Proud in their nakedness,

Survey the earth beneath their boughs

That winter frost has blessed.

Driving rain batters fields

Blown on bitter breeze,

Ready as the cloak of night

Bequeaths an arctic freeze.

Then hopefully from its blanket

The sun will shine once more,

To bless us with the beauty

Only nature can restore.

The winter frost can bless the hills all it wants, as long as it doesn’t bless my car again. I’m fed up having to scrape the windscreen clear in the morning!
