Dec 2015
Frigid winters in beauty endless
Stiff wood branches plated with snow
ready to be consumed by the howling wind
Big eyed snowmen and rolling hills of white
Puffy coats given reason to be freed
from the realm of their containment
Sticky dew filled mornings
make the air stiff with an icy breeze
Frozen ponds so graceful skate across

A cup of cocoa and a blazing hearth
perhaps more favored by some
But getting warm can only happen
to one that has been cold before
Out the window can sometimes be
the best way to experience your beauty
One does not have to be in the cold
to imagine the tingling of sensation

From head to toe can I feel you
Chisel out my rotten soul and replace
with a blizzard of light freeze
hiding the many layers of filth and grime
A coating of cream atop a delicious addiction
For some, though not many, you do this to us
The span of your imagination is beyond us
And so do we manage to fight fire with fire;
Your ice with our ice, and ours with yours,
but we know you will always prevail
