Terminal Frost

In summers embrace
the land around us flourishes
giving life and energy to the feet that walk over it
one can experience
waves of unfaltering strength
emanating
pulsing through every being
seeping from the leaves of each plant
In winters slumber
the earth has lost it's warmth
in the woods there is stillness
arboreal sleepers wait in solitude
the terrain is a conduit for
each scrap of energy
still remaining from earlier seasons
to be drawn
the land will take it's toll in many forms
bear your teeth
fight back with a laugh
