Cold Winter Dim Veil

Days were the sunshine of life The days embraced your vision. A melodious yellow canary Hopping upon my window sill. You were the sleepy Winter that safely Wrapped a swaddle blanket over my nature Capturing the magic. You were the Autumn brush stokes that entwined The golden rod and pumpkin in the crisp leaves. The chocolate and blush on the trees, The chartreuse and peacock in the grass. You were the paper kite butterfly that sip The nectar of Spring crimson callistemon. Like a rainstorm with gusty winds, You blew away slicing my lace heart Piercing with your harshness Arctic breath. Cold frosty mornings around my window sill, When each time I exhale a dim veil breath, It disappears into the chilled air Of the muted visions you embraced. 2/1/2021 Break My Heart, Why Don't Cha Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Edward Ibeh
