A Cold and Cloudy Day
These woods so lovely dark and deep,
Pray the lord my soul to keep,
Forgotten promises did not.
Ice castles of regret bleed
Rimed ichor from Pluto's cold pot.
The horse ridden with no harness,
Mistakes were made in earnest,
Flying crystalline children scream
Love has miles and miles to go
Before it finds the frozen stream.
I think alas its true perchance
To dream of warmth and then glance
At sun, but they darken my view.
These shades of grey conceal heaven
In frosty undertones they skew,
I have miles to go and never sleep.
