Cold Autumn

In the 
depths of winter 
   I find the icy 
touch of the sky 
   A cold season 
        where I might 
take delight 
   in the holy light forever 
   I won't give into any 
pressure 
   to change my thought system 
Perhaps I will continue 
   on
 the path 
    which I should 
have taken years ago

It's sort of melancholy, this poem. I sense a bit of regret and yet a bit a bit of hope. It's amazing how you can blend those two together so well. I'm not sure what to say about format... I wonder if you do it random and sporadically or have a goal in mind? In any case you are certainly a breath of fresh air to read!
