Winter

Winter Grey and more grey Dimness covers everything Cold wet quietness In the middle of winter Staring out a window Framed by old memories Lowly lighted roominess Winter slowly ebbing Iridescent monitor Becomes my companion Coolness down to the bone Weather will not let go In my little space Sitting on my bed Together with my thoughts I realize it is April Red budding blooms Peak their way out From the grey stillness So very far away
