In shadows draped, the winter draws near
A season's tale of sorrow and despair
With whispered winds, it creeps, austere
Bringing loneliness to all that we bear

Once vibrant hues now fade to gray
The world adorned in a somber attire
Leaves relinquish their hold and sway
As frost-kissed landscapes ignite a fire

The sun retreats, its warmth withdrawn
Gone are the days of golden embrace
In frigid nights, sadness is drawn
A symphony of echoes, a haunting grace

The trees stand barren, stripped and bare
Their branches weep, in frozen tears
The whispers of loss fill the frozen air
Echoing regrets of forgotten years

Nature's lullaby, a mournful tune
Whispered by creatures seeking solace
Silent footsteps on the path
Each breath is a reminder of time's embrace

Let us cherish the melancholy embrace
For within its depths lie lessons profound
In winter's shroud, we find our grace
A poignant symphony, where sorrows resound

So let the winter arrive with sorrow's might
Let melancholy dance upon our hearts
For in the darkest hours, we find our light
And embrace the solace that winter gives
