Winter Blues
The winter was long
it came in like the lamb
but continued to roar like a lion
the snow came down lightly
piling snowflake after snowflake
soon it became knee deep
it continued and became waist deep
instead of walking thru water at a beach
it became walking thru heavy clinging snow
each breath inhale and exhale
become laboured by the cold and exercise
instead of warm sandy water in bare feet
we were in deep heavy snow with snow boots
dreams of warmth and the sun and far away places.
