Winter a silent cry

1.   Dawn
     Silence

subtitle: The sun rises but hopes remain silent.

2. Gently melting the patterns that softly fallen    snow traced the night before.

3. The sun plays on these patterns, and delicately pulls them away.
To become the mist that rises and hangs above the ground.

4. Frostbitten daffodils are softly suffocated by the snow.

subtitle: The sun pulls away hopes that never had a chance to grow.
Frozen snow begins to melt, washing beauty away.

5. The sun spills its shadows into this morning.

6. Depressions: where the winds blow more fiercely; shaded    

7. Depressions: places of depth.

8. The winds drift the snow, leaving patterns forgotten.

9. The drifts quietly swell under this urging.
Trees bend backwards to please the wind's call.

subtitle: Shadowed emotions.
  
10. Wandering snow drifts away.

subtitle: Drifting thoughts, unsettled.

11. The sun briefly interrupts the wind; warming, caressing, for only a moment.
The wind pushes on.  The snow subsides, exposing forgotten life.
Silence.

12. Pale yellow exposed, lays lifeless.

13. Gave itself soundlessly to winter's breath.

14. Pale yellow life fading against blinding snow.

subtitle: Fragile innocence (what life lacks).

15.      The day's song fades to darkness, sunlight is lost to night's beckoning call.

16.      Time passed, a life that longed will never breathe again.

      subtitle: Upon this night a weary soul will rest, its cries left unheard
Buried by the winter's wind.
