Cold Is the Night

Cold is the night and dark and long though with the gloom bleak humour comes we'll make it through, our love is strong North wind howls under midnight's gong and buries all neath ice and snow cold is the night and dark and long Silence deep as snowflakes throng unbidden doubt ousts fragile sleep we'll make it through, our love is strong On melting snow, black springtails sprong in tribute to sun's slow return though night is cold and dark and long From cedar green, red cardinal's song foretells of warmer days to come we'll make it through, our love is strong With sun's return spring comes along snow melts, rain falls and life glows green the days are warm, the sun is strong we made it through, our love is long 1/25/2016
