Winter Like Death
Winter walks with death - alone
Life succumbs to letting go
Taking with us what we know
Leaving behind canvas and bone
Tears wept no longer flow
The afterlife is but a ghost
Gifts of memory left to bestow
Darkness rises as host
Desolation comes in the night
Quiet moans howl at the light
Whispering names left in the wind
Somber snow drifts with might
A hazy sun seems almost dimmed
Need no more to feel chagrined
