Shades of Winter
I wear winter in faded shades of blue
with specks of painful grey holding true
beckoning me back to nightly sleep
where flowers bloom and summers keep
residence in a slumbered state
I wear winter in rugged fingers worn
where dismal lies and beauty's torn
through fields once bright and strong
filled with nature's love and simple song
resounding at heaven's gate
I wear winter in a rough and solemn face
filled with memories that fell from grace
where wind wrapped skies hide the sun
behind dark storms coming forth again
holding too much weight
I wear winter but she can't wear me
spring will come with all her security
warm smiles spilled with a filtered touch
an enchantment I can never have enough
releasing hardships that hibernate
