Winter Blog

A winter's chill
has cut the air
it splits the logs
of fear and care

rounding out
the spring and fall
spitting snow and ice
o'er all

romantic visions
dot the sky
sleepy snowfalls
light and high

peace on earth
sings soft and sweet
but not for all
a tasty treat

that sleepy snow
will wake and strike
frozen days and
killing nights

remembrances kind
a frosty sky
thawing toes
near firelight

are not the only
winter thoughts
losses too fill
are neatly caught

so as you shop
then warm your toes
enjoy as
sounds and spirits flow

remember all's not
sweet and kind
not everything always
works out fine

be kind to all
happy or sad
angry, rude
cheerful, glad

their life's not yours
nor their pain
for peace on earth
we all can gain
