today
it’s winter
time to enjoy
the irony of winter

least favorited
longest season
shortest days

many times gloomy, dark, depressing
somehow manages to glisten, sparkle, shine

coldest yet it’s
coziest
dangerous yet it’s
peaceful
colorless yet it’s
magical

choose not to
complain and wish it away

choose to
live in the present and enjoy it while it’s here

because
summer will come soon enough

for now
it’s winter
time to enjoy
the irony of winter
