A Frozen Tear

Home, a place I used to have
Replaced by the solace
The foreboding of winter
Sends a  chill deep within 

I hold hands with yesterday
We quietly embrace
Till the wind blows us free
The winter has set in
And now tiss only me

Wow, Arthur. This is a wonderful poem. So much emotion in just a few lines. I can feel the chill, the emptiness that you feel. Very well written..... Robert.
