Hardened Teardrops
There is a sting to winter’s kiss
cold memory reignited
a vision through watery eyes
a mirage of moments blighted
weary tracks of empty snowshoes
thinning lines on crest of hill
swallowed by a cloudless sky
the stinging bite of winter’s chill
crystal tracks of hardened teardrops
frozen on love’s time numbed cheeks
wait in silence as they listen
as love’s windblown distance speaks
