A blanket of deep sleep
Lay not a carpet that holds the green of roots
But this to uphold and give it strength from its truth
That it shall be covered by another in layers come the day
To keep it solely protected frosty moments here to stay
So let it be that the fall rots away in release from the trees
Soon it will be winter standing so naked but totally free
Each limb that stands out grasping the wind in its might
But when sunshine comes, passing through in open light
From this protection that gives mulchy leaves to the ground
The grass goes to sleep and its neighbors as well in the surround
Another year has come and the winter makes all sleep
Nature looks within for warmth to go a little deep
Snow harks in and each snow flake grows more
Falling from the clouds and hitting pockets in the floor
Holding on to everything attracted frozen delight
No more is the detail, white sugary coating now in sight
This dream it has with rich soil in green is this grass
It knows with a little patience, that this slumber shall pass
Until that day comes with nights so cold and days cloudy gloom
It will open up and spread out in which springtime made its room
