A Cold Darkness

The rain seems more angry today
A cold stinging slap in the face
A wake-up call perhaps

It will soon cling
Icily sharp
On the edges
Of a colder wind

Glistening branches
Tinkling
In Christmas card glitter
Shiver

As we wait
For the frightening
Flicker of the lights

And

A cold darkness.
