A Winters Heart

A crispy fire goes out A heart as cold as a stone A head as bitter as ice Hands trembling and legs weeping People struggling to gain warmth People begging themselves to stay at peace Peace was shared with the forest and the animals Silence was broken, at last it was broken A heart as cosy as snuggling up in bed A head as warm as the love that was shared Hands were moving and legs carrying people as they run Snowballs were thrown Smiles and laughter were cherished in every soul Happiness was cheap and worth more than a fire The people had their own flame of hope and love
