The sky is wide eyed and joyous
At the thought of the ice age returning.
Even the sapling trees, whip cracked and raw,
Are dozing blissfully in the glow of a molten moon.
The lake is a vast continent of cultured ice,
Criss crossed by webbed feet and a fresh dusting of snow.
Far away on the road below
The traffic is crawling by, a mirage of metal and rubber
Turning the pure white of the snow to black sludge,
A stain spreading slowly through the streets of the town.
I snuggle deeper into my great coat,
Pull my hat lower over reddened ears.
I listen to the snow whispering in the hedgerow,
Hear the moon shift in the joyous sky. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 145 [topic] => 27 [informant] => cashfan1 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => NaturePoetry )

Joyous Sky.

Way up here the whole world is hushed with content,
The sky is wide eyed and joyous
At the thought of the ice age returning.
Even the sapling trees, whip cracked and raw,
Are dozing blissfully in the glow of a molten moon.
The lake is a vast continent of cultured ice,
Criss crossed by webbed feet and a fresh dusting of snow.
Far away on the road below
The traffic is crawling by, a mirage of metal and rubber
Turning the pure white of the snow to black sludge,
A stain spreading slowly through the streets of the town.
I snuggle deeper into my great coat,
Pull my hat lower over reddened ears.
I listen to the snow whispering in the hedgerow,
Hear the moon shift in the joyous sky.

This really pulled me in with the imagery. I felt I not only read this poem but I saw it as well. Nice.

Nature's equilibrium is restored in magnificent defining of seasons, you can feel the joy and contentment and all is well with the world,aware of the presence of man and one man in particular bringzing the eyes for us to see this so clearly, I love the line...... I snuggle deeper into my great coat...... Nature is not the only one that is more comfortable and at peace.
