Skeletal

Draven

The wind whispers through the skeletal trees,

twigs snapping and bark cracking like old bones.

Pillows of snow crunch under her boots with each step.

The fog thickens around her as she continues on her way.

 

Der Wind flüstert durch die skelettierten Bäume,

zweige und Rinde knacken wie alte Knochen.

Bei jedem Schritt knirschen Schneekissen unter ihren Stiefeln.

Der Nebel verdichtet sich um sie herum, während sie ihren Weg fortsetzt.

    Came to read you and just loved this. Also enjoyed reading the German although I don't know the language except that it can be very poetical and soothing......

      Thank you so much!! And that is really nice to hear - I love the German language, it is really poetic and beautiful along with being very hard and direct.

      I'm thinking she's not alone in the woods.
