Loneliness of Winter
the loveliness of Spring
is but faded memory
warmth and joy in the sun
a time of sweet serenity
Winter is a lonely time
not enough fading light to share
nor warmth in a single touch
the absence of a radiant flare
forgotten am I now
in the bright of fading white
the whirl of wind leaves no trace
as I wait out unending night
do not forget me now
even as I fade away
someday the nights will shine
when Spring has dawned the day
