Lull

Icy sidewalks and frozen roads Crisp winter air A peaceful sleep The wind whispers thoughts of spring Soon forgotten with icy shivers Hibernation now We awake to find a peaceful city Industry forgets itself Men at work adhere to silence Ice lays claim Our place in the world is frozen Animals come out to eat Briefly seen by scarce rays of sunshine Darkness shrouds the short and bitter days Cloudy skies and rosy cheeks Lulling moments that are necessary Giving contrast to a beautiful spring Coming closer everyday By Kyle Ezra Kriticos
