Winter Love Story

light
falls
fast,
and
winter
arrives.

Autumn’s memory but
faintly tickles
the mind;
and
Summer’s lushness
is long forgotten.

tis
a time
of
darkness
and a time of
cold,
and of
Hope.

Spring
approaches.

faithfully I await
her nubile gifts.

candle in hand,
and song in my chest,
I long to share
that tender embrace
again.
