Winter

The roots are what makes her unyielding,

Through the darkest of nights,

And the bitterest of colds.

Even when all her leaves weep to earth,

The ground beneath keeps a hold.

And such a peace does she find,

When winter leaves her

Without all her beauty and grace,

Because that's the only season,

When she finally meets her true self.

Again.
