Once recently

Once very recently the trees were weighed

 with red orange and autumn leaves

It was warm but cool in the evening 

Got up with spring and took a walk to start the day

Praying 

enjoying the views 

Now in what feels very sudden 

It's so very very cold

Winter has arrived 

and l wear several layers of clothing 

I stay in bed to remain warm

It's cold

I do not have any get up to face the day

The winter struggle takes all my energy

Emotions are stifled as l wearily go 

though the motions of surviving

bitterly cold day
