Dark Gloomy, Dark and cold,
Very very cold.

The dead tall trees
the dried derived, mixed colored leaves.
Leading to a very cold, uncomfortable season.
Fake Frozen faces of trees,
Numbed faces of people.

Branches from the tall trees timbering;
The sound one branch made,
Gave a felling that the whole forest was coming down
Through out the woods.
An icy crack drives up the road.
Weaving in and out, of broken stained pavement;
The crack leads up to a blue man.

The cold air reaching the fingertips,
Making them tremble in the
Ice-like air.
On this COLD!
Day.

But wait, an opening appears.
Light shining through the dense and dark clouds.
A door to a happier place,
A warmer place.
A door away from this god forsaken,
COLD!
Place.
