Fate

Winter never surrenders, It ploughs through the soul And freezes the people. For all time its fierce fangs Inject bitter venom Into its victims. Some fall prey of a sudden Trapped beneath the surface Of the ice. Others fall asleep, Unable to fight any longer. Still some brave the bite For the sake of others In order to help them Safely return to spring. Spring endures, But winter conquers, Such is life they say, Though they wish It differently.

Thank you, although I'm confused as to what place I got. I couldn't find the page for the "C'est la vie" contest I entered. Any advice for a newbie?
