Winds of Fate

Time rushes by
things come and go
thoughts get scattered
An ageless wind blows
as leaves rustle
with the hint of winter's kiss
With those winds
appears the harbinger
of a dark and desolate place
The icy chill of winter's grasp
has come to live in his heart
replacing the warmth 
that once lived in the abode
Somewhere in time, 
he remembers the fire
that once dwelt there
Pulling his coat around him,
he shivers as he plods
into the bitter cold
Yes, it's going to be
a very long winter
without the warmth of her presence
