The sun declines to shine
The sky refuses to open up
The cloud turns its color to grey
The earth feels cold and rejected
And, the sea freezes up
The iceberg grow thicker ever
Take no solace to the creatures under
Hummingbirds beg for nectar
Squirrels no where to hide
Butterflies take their last breath
Honey bees’ cluster for warmth
And, the wild wolves shriek their loudest, longest howl
Demand to maintain their territorial ground
Instinctive battle of kingdoms and Mother Nature
A wild biting wind storm
In its most stunning acrobatic performance
Brush and crush off the pines and bushes
In awe of the roaring percussion of nature
And, time hibernate into the darkest night
Find tranquil in the quietude and stillness
Surrender to the mysterious celestial
Light a candle in the heart
Celebrate like the ancient Greek does
Create a soft light and enjoy the cover darkness provides
Draw and expand the circle of sanctuary
And, no matter which path must follow
Say prayers of love and peace to all
May peace prevail on earth
