Winter Depression

Bearable winter Blanket covered cold Attacked by white Gas of Fallen Snow But unbearable silent Cripples into the home Like a snake To live with loneliness Get Scattered past Comes like a shooting star Burning and blasting As a thunder bolt To the vulnerable heart Like a novel keeps turning pages Last chapters of the age Tries to be active Like a butterfly While the birds are vanishing Letting to the cold Heater in the home Makes warm the room Cooks once in a way Finding the present to share it At the evening table Cold darken lumpish light Turns to here and there Trying to realize The nature of life A sigh of pain Or a sigh of relief Unconsciously comes Likewise something missed In the life of four seasons Udaya R.
