Hunters in the Snow
Winter's frozen grasp,
Through woods and fields,
Hunters clasp.
Breath like mist,
Frosty air,
Tracking trails,
With utmost care.
Cloaked in furs,
Against biting cold,
Tales of old,
Brave and bold.
Crunch of snow,
Under boots,
Echoes silence,
Nature salutes.
Forest whispers,
Ancient, wise,
Under watchful,
Gray skies.
Steps dance,
Shadows, light,
Hunters snow,
Primal sight.
Pine shadows creep,
World sleeps,
Bond of survival,
Raw, deep.
Snow's embrace,
Secrets keep.
Hunt rhythm,
Timeless, true,
Dance of life,
Morning dew.
Winter's dare,
Timeless tale,
Hunters snow.
