Hibernation
by jennie kathryn


the leaves are gone
the green grass has vanished
the animals are sleeping
I wish I could do the same.
the cold freezes your breath
the night bright as a coudy day
the snow on the ground makes an eerie silence
I still wish winter wasn't always the same.
the pond is frozen over
the horse won't go for a ride
the birds are nowhere singing
I wish I could be in that noplace too.
the heater is working overtime
the windows are frozen shut
the annual blizzard will be here on Tuesday
I still hope next winter will have something new.
