Winter's Warmth

The Ache of a winter's howl
rendering me helpless at wind's tip
sitting on the frozen ground
and give into it.

I still long for snow,though I despise
its beautiful rendering creates a portrait
before my eyes.

I wish to go where it is warm
a kiln or fireplace
but why do I deserve the warmth
where others would freeze in my place.
