Winter Words

She spoke to me
In winter words
Words she had filled  
With ice and snow
Her words of summer
Have long since gone
The way of green fields
Covered in bright shinning sun

There are days
Long ago
I can still recall 
Her weaving a nest
With words of spring
Her love and warmth
Filled our home
With songs of warmth
And summer

But these days 
She speaks 
In winter words
Words
I should have 
Long since seen 
Before 
Her winter words appeared
Her expressions 
Spoke of autumn
