Winter Trap

Frosty as a statue winter greets,
sometimes it feels too long like a year.

We wish we could toss it away like a stone,
wish we could end it like a talk on the phone.

Like a broken heart we can not warm the winter day,
Still we can enjoy it like a ride on a sleigh.

Close and dark as a shadow winter stays,
It often feels too long like a roadway.

We wish we could pause it like a favourite show,
wish to melt it like a sun ray melting the snow.

That time of year is here. I feel the chill set in even as I read your words. Though it also tends to feel magical when there's a nice fire burning in the fireplace. It's when my writing comes to life most. I loved your thoughts here, well wrote!
