This dreary kind of day
Blurs my mind
With unsettling
Thoughts
Unlike a camera
I cannot focus
Or capture
What is before
Me
I shall walk away
And wait for
The light

Ready to watch
You get ready
To fish
Is the glory
In the catch
Of the fish
Or the getting ready

At sunset
It is a summer in winter
Christmas is where I find love

Couldn't wait to see you
Then when I did
I wondered why

m-emories of the year past
o-n a day of new beginnings
n-odding head off to silent sleep
t-humbs congealed within the wintry chill
h-ours went by to the new year

o-ut the sheets
f-allen to the side

j-ust awaken from wintry slumber
a- crowd of children ran across streets
n-eighbors greet each other of the new day
u-nder the icicle drenched oak branches
a- cardinal chirped its lonesome song
r-elishing the piercingly fresh air
y-esterday's death, today's first breath

She walked into
The cold winter day
Saw ice snapping
Off frozen branches
On hearing them
Crackle to the
Icyground
She realized she
Wasn't far behind
