Winter's Slow Dawn

As summer fades, leaves start to fall; old memories, you won’t recall get slowly taken by the worms. It’s sometimes hard to come to terms with winter leaving branches bare; that buds once started growing there. Your summer’s verdant blush of green will evermore remain unseen by multitudes of fruit you bore. While slowly, hoarfrost chills your core.

Thanks Deb; Hoar frost is a type of feathery frost that forms as a result of specific climatic conditions. The word ‘hoar’ comes from old English and refers to the old age appearance of the frost.
