Winter Is Here

Introduction

I love this image of winter that I found on The Enchanted Booklet on Facebook here:

The music is "White Winter Hymnal" by The Fleet Foxes

Winter Is Here

She is carrying water through a wilderness. The trees have no leaves. They fell in autumn.

The pillar has no chain. Was some creature of the Winter God tethered there? Who knows. The sky is white, like a great swan; other strange black shadow birds fly above the lady, to warmer climes.

She walks in the land forever, impervious to the cold, carrying her bowl to a friend in need of sustenance.

Her journey has a focus, but no end.

She is a white walker in the white snow-covered realm of Winter.

No flowers grow here, and no animals run; only the black migrating birds while the Winter Swan looks on, over this white world.
