Under the weight
Of winter's breath
The world falls quiet
Still as death
Stars fade like
Secrets kept in frost
As night consumes
What daylight lost
Silent nightfall
Vast and deep
Where shadows breathe
And sorrows sleep
A chill that bites
A stillness raw
Wrapped in the cold
Of night's last law
Between the trees
The silence grows
A haunting calm
Where no wind blows
Frozen branches
Cracked with grief
Hold tight to
Winter's dark relief
Silent nightfall
Vast and deep
Where shadows breathe
And sorrows sleep
A chill that bites
A stillness raw
Wrapped in the cold
Of night's last law
Between the trees
The silence grows
A haunting calm
Where no wind blows
Frozen branches
Cracked with grief
Hold tight
To winter's dark relief
Silent nightfall
Vast and deep
Where shadows breathe
And sorrows sleep
A chill that bites
A stillness raw
Wrapped in the cold
Of night's last law
When warmth is but a memory
And stars are ghosts
We barely see
In this deep hush
We lose our way
To night's embrace
Where shadows sway
So rest in darkness
Bound and numb
As frozen whispers
Faintly hum
Silent nightfall
Fierce and wide
A world in frost
No place to hide
