Beneath crystal shards
Lies warmth, awaiting the thaw
Of winter’s cold breath

The cold winds begin to blow
And pretty soon, the sky will snow
Please don’t let me stay out here
I need warmth, like you, my dear
I’m just as human as anyone
I love to sit in the shining sun
But when the sun turns much colder
And I, become, a wee bit older
Inside, away, from bitter weather
Is where I’ll feel much, much better
Author’s note: As the colder weather makes its way in, please remember to take in your pets. Freezing conditions for humans are unbearable. I can’t imagine what they feel like when forgotten in the cold…

Cold, like the rain on a winter’s day
Callously sticking to my skin,
Old, like blackened snow, I stay
Draped in clothing, wearing thin
Shattering, chattering, subzero illusions
Numbing my senses, in vain
Chattering, shattering, icicle profusions
Looking for warmth, to guide me again
Stabbing through me, sharp and jagged
The pain just won’t go away
Leaving me breathless, hopelessly ragged
I fall to my knees, and I pray
The colder weather is approaching, Reach out and spread the warmth in your heart to those less fortunate.

She knows what it means
To be left out in the cold
Still, she blossoms warmth

As Morgan said in her post, a year is a Major commitment, but I’ve never been known to pass up a challenge. I look forward to sharing the seasons ahead, and gratefully thank Morgan for stirring the embers of my soul and igniting the fire in my heart…

She found herself
In this unearthly place
Felt his presence
Chill her face
Watched the mist
Against the ground
Rise, then fall
Without a sound
Could this be illusion?
A trick, not a treat
He’s slowly surrounding
Himself, at her feet
Feeling the tug
She realizes fast
As he pulls her under
With a sinister grasp
