Winter in the mountains

As a Lone Stag stands proudly
Scenting snow to come
It's a season of coldness and winds
The time earth appears to sleep

Yet life abounds even so
And creatures, great and small
strive to continue onward
Thinking not of tomorrow
But only of today

All is as it should be
Life continues onward

Come spring, she will bless us.
Her abundance of wild flowers,
Green grass, and running streams

She will replentish the earth
With future generations of creatures
Great or small
