There's Something About Winter
There’s something about winter
Cold air, frozen ground, bare trees
Bringing with it loneliness easily
The dark of night arrives early
With a certain kind of longing
That molds memories of what is gone
Like the color of autumn that passed
There’s something about winter
That makes some things linger
Like lone leaves still hanging to branches
Hard to forget, skies begging for light
Hearts begging for comfort and warmth
Thankfully, the snow brings sparkles
With purity to the brown barren land
Where fun can be found and seen
As people watch with new wonder
At the perfection of falling snowflakes
Crystalizing dreams, alive once again
