Winter In the Park
The frosted breath of winter bears the smell of snow
It scatters life’s discard across the withered grass
Darkness devours the light from a fading sun’s glow
Frozen despair drops from black skies like jagged glass
Night steals the warmth from the dying sun’s reflection
Leafless trees hinder not the tormenting winds bite
His coat collar pulled tight offers no protection
Against the violent stab of one more frozen night
The cold crawls into his brain and numbs his senses
But in the quietness no one can hear his plea
As the soft white blanket softens his defenses,
He embraces the blessings of death…He is free
