The winter sun, just like a big orange,
slowly crashed trembling in grey of pond,
from wild colors and blurred strange lights
invade the skies to finish its day's voyage.
While the forest gradually darkens,
the time when vagrant only in purgatory,
accelerates, unable to find shelter, ,
wandering a path full of rough pitfalls.
In the cozy homes, blinds closed to cover
draws curtains, lit the lamp in golden puddle,
happiness painted on faces, considering cradle,
to disappear garden dormant from the closed doors.
A snow clad rose falls asleep with a little concern,
the birds saddened, nestled under the arbor
slowly arrived shadows to pay regrets to night,
the mist surround gradually to dim landscape.
In the firmament, there's a star hangs,
to say adieu to sun at the end of voyage
ready to drown in the grey of the pond.
