When Winter Lifts

When Winter lifts some clouds with heavy rain The ones that write ominous across the sky That engorge themselves on heaven's grays So much weight can not sustain this vision Peoples eyes can only take in so much distance Elements weigh heavy on the mind in Winter Cold has no boundaries when snow comes down Crowds gather at the fireplace in center city square Warmth made from frozen logs and matches They are the only light created in this misery Dim as it might be It is the only thing worth seeing When clouds surround the city Winter lifts some clouds in our direction They may come but never leave When fog sets in
