Lady of Winter
Dear lady of winter
why must you be so harsh
shed your ermine wraps
and put away your hooded
cloak of white - beautiful as
it may seem when gleaming
in the cold sun like a thousand
diamonds and glossy pearls
the land does slumber too long
the trees sleep too deeply
under your strict command
of days that are too dark
and moons peer out from
behind cell bars and prison
sentences of winter discontent
release the prisoners of Spring
held captive by a cruel winter
in dampness and bone chilling
days and nights - let down your
dark walls and break the fetters
of those who cry out to be free
and taste the delights of the
newborn world once again..
and do away with this abomination
known as winter..
