Winter at the Barn
Bright in the winter, the frigid snowflakes fall
 The frozen branches of the pine trees stand ever so tall
  Crisp and cool air stings the faces of children near by
 The loud chirp of a seagull descends from the sky
 
 The ever so loud voices of the people inside,
 Are nothing compared to the waves at high tide
 Sand on the beach has frozen in time
 Making the trek up the stairs a more difficult climb
 
 The wood of your solid frame creaks and crackles at night
 Pine trees outside your windows begin to shiver in fright
 If you could speak, you would sound calm and serene
 With a jolly low tone; energetic, never mean
 
 I ask you, do you tire of hearing obnoxious, loud chit-chat?
 As your swing creaks from age, where so many people have sat
 You taste natural and organic, like fresh pancakes on a bright Sunday morn
 I feel the seams of your couch, where the fabric has worn
 
 The snow beneath my boots, ever so cold, yet tremendously comforting
 The aroma of pine envelopes me as a bird takes wing
 Through the screams and the whistles, and ever-present bird calls,
 There is silence when the snow falls
