A Midwest winter solstice having passed,
the sun will soon begin its southern crawl, and daylight hours, now in scant supply, increase in number, forcing spring's recall. Cold lakes, asleep in frigid silence, wait for the melting of their layered, icy wraps, and though secluded, those around them bide return of color to their snowy laps. Most wildlife has lulled and settled down to hibernate through arctic biting chill, an eerie calm surrounds the lakeshore's edge, the Midwest winter's denizens are still. The hush will break with sunshine's warm effect- the booming cracks mean little disrespect.
