Eternal winter

 

 

 

 

As you stand in that lonely field,

snow falling in drifted memories,

chilled winds collecting in the corners of your mind,

seeing footprints leading neither here nor there

in wandering dance steps

to a sorrowed tune

 

Hearing monochrome clouds whisper

words that never seem to end

in an echo of torment

Lingering somewhere in the past,

lost on a cold December morning

when the day felt as if it were the last

 

Know that as you gaze to the heavens

leaving frozen teardrops scattered

on the stark white landscape

that warmth you feel

wrapping tenderly around your shoulders,

caressing your heart in sunny sky promises

 

 

Is me, on a tiny snowflake

falling amidst the many,

yet glistening brighter,

finding you, touching you,

loving you, on even the coldest of days

in this eternal winter
