Winter I know it's coming Yet still it surprises Catches me off balance It's ferocity It grinds all things To a standstill I step outside and marvel at its might At a world upended Abandoned I am alone Gale force winds Are no match For the crushing weight Of winters silence
Winter Is something we knew was coming Such dire predictions Predicated with vague hopes That it may not come Or be like this Still we prepare For my winter No, our winter Although I fear it Drains the warmth from us both And shake as I might I will not be able to warm you In the cold winter night I am still Twitching Restless and rummaging For what I do not know
Winter I wish to run out and greet you Fly upon your winds And float upon your back Flee into your cold And starkness and silence Eyes tearing Heart pounding Lungs searing as Icy hands pillage them My frozen facade Shattered Fragmented scattered By a laugh sparkling bits of me To show you I am still
