Hunters in the Snow
In the heart of winter's frozen grasp, Through woods and fields, the hunters clasp. Their breaths like mist, in the frosty air, Tracking the trails with utmost care. Cloaked in furs, against the biting cold, With tales of old, brave and bold. The crunch of snow under heavy boots, Echoes in the silence, as nature salutes. The forest whispers, ancient and wise, Under the watchful, gray winter skies. Each step a dance with shadows and light, Hunters in the snow, a primal sight. Through the pines, their shadows creep, As the world around them lies in sleep. A bond of survival, raw and deep, In the snow's embrace, secrets to keep. The hunt, a rhythm, timeless and true, A dance of life, in the morning's dew. In the heart of winter, where the brave dare go, Lies the timeless tale of hunters in the snow.
