To the Winter's Reconcile
Our shoulders touched electric as we walked
through sleet and grey impending winter snow
To reconnect devotion as we talked
it seemed, before I spoke, you seemed to know
There never was another kindred heart
and in my frozen breath I told you so
We hurried through the city streets gone dark
We laughed in nervousness way past our prime
We knew that every ending had a start
and on this winter night was your's and mine
The streets absorbed our words to fallen feuds
and slicked the surface skin up to a shine
We stopped in our reflection to imbue
three cheers for happy endings to unfold
when happiness to most of us eludes
and superficial endings, truth be told,
are often left to rest in winter sleet
and buried in the weight of winter snow.
