Winter

Winter has arrived
To make the bald eagles to fly up to their maximum power
And to dive in the unfrozen lakes
Or a river
With the heat of their strength
To catch a satisfying meal

Winter has arrived
To fill up all the barren wells
So tomorrow\'s gardens can grow fresh roses

Winter has arrived
For the wolf to explore deep in the snow
With his extraordinary sense of survival

Winter is not cruel
It’s not demanding
And it’s not here
To make us suffer

Winter is a blessing of nature
That awakens the love of life in heart of spring
