Winter Dis-involvement

Winter Dis-involvement

by Marshal Gebbie

Furtive in this Winter air
We watch a pale life hover there
Suspended by some hope defined
By gossamers so unrefined,
A silky substance floating by
Like spider web in azure sky.

We watch a pale life hover there
In freezing air, in sad despair, 
The hoar frost down on frozen ground 
Reflecting hopelessness profound,
Saw lost eyes in a careless world
...But turned away as day unfurled.
