All alone, so cold

short poem

All alone, so cold
Drafts blowing, arrogantly throwing
Icy flakes, the freezing wind
Lifting up the fallen leaves
Whistling through unkempt hair
Steaming the breath in front
Raising goose bumps all over the body;
Blue lips silently praying,
Hands rubbing together, for warmth
Limbs contracted inside to heat up
The body huddled, head bowed
Against the cold - the solitary light
Not enough, never against
The rising chill, the creeping shadows,
Cold fear that freezes the bones
And runs down the spine - 
The body turns to stone, 
A solitary statute stationed
Frozen on the bench, waiting
All alone, so cold.
