It’s official!  At 11:28AM EST, winter arrived…brrrrr


Winter, in the morn, appears

Enticing everyone, with a flurry

Awakening the slumber of snowmen

Children, frolicking, on dunes of white

Snowball fights and mugs of hot chocolate

While we sit by the warmth of the fireplace

Longing for the first day of spring

Spirits transcend the waters

Gliding through shadows

Unafraid of the muck

Layered below, for they know

Beneath, the mire contains

Another lost soul, searching

For a chance to find his way

Into the greater unknown

His hands were rough

Against the softness of her skin

An unshaven face

Bristled against her neck

His lips, a salted cold

Whispered, sending chills

Time together shortened

He would soon set sail

A memory, until he returned

A longing deep within

He was all she knew

And it was his touch

She would always crave

The last of the leaves fall

Like a swirling tornado, they fly

How I long to be one of them

I hear the howling

A sound, growing

Piercing, window panes

The glass, shivering

And night closing in
