Winter

The sky is gray, the sun is faraway.

- Don't be afraid, it is just a shade.

The snow is so bright,

it keeps the light

of the soul of the woods.

Without shadows, no fear,

the land is clear.

- Don’t be so glad, though.

There is no reason,

here is another season

still hard to go.

There are no blank pages

to write, now.

It will take dreams and ages

to get why and how.

- Don’t be sad, it’s not so bad.

Breathe gently the freezing air.

May it can friendly care

and bring us calm,

like healing balm.

Let us look ahead

and proudly stand.

The heart is still beating

from the soul of the woods.
