Winterlong

There is a stillness in the cold When everything sets into a deep freeze And the clouds cast a red glow The snow on the ground reflects But it doesn't speak It only covers what has already been The stars seem to shine brighter Piercing through another passing night They're light millions of miles away And thousands of years ago Can we comprehend what we cannot see And can we understand what we have? As one mystery unravels Another becomes more tightly wound And yet still winter passes As some are lost And others are found
