Description Winter's sleep grows restless.
Nightmares clad in chill mists,
haunting melodies of the forests'
ghost-birds, churn the white snow
into ashen slush.
Silent water drips from barren branches,
quickening the thaw below like
rapid eye movements beneath closed lids.

Evergreen boughs droop low with
the weary weight of Heaven's
rejected waters. Darkness pools among
the dreaming roots And all
through the glade lit only
by endless void above, the coyotes
chant their dire songs:
β€œThe Dreamer must soon wake!”

Thank you so much for the kind words I wasn't too sure about the flow as I was writing it, and even after a couple rounds of revisions I wasn't convinced I had gotten it right. It's nice to know that my fears were at least partly unfounded.

Haha, completely understand you there. Sometimes it's okay for a poem to be a bit disjointed and syncopated, as long as it works, but you've nothing to worry about here!
