Winter Depression

By Phantasmagoria

The leaves in the wind,
Tell stories of departure.
Brittle are their veins...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trees of the forest
Shiver in their nakedness,
Longing affection...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sky sheds tears as
Autumn fades away, reaching
The start of winter...

T.O.N. = Type O Negative. One of my all time fave bands. That song kind of discribes nature in a human way, like your poem. :)-
