Best Poems Written by Gigi Nieto

The Twelfth of Never

I took a walk in winter
And I gazed upon the hills
My burdens suddenly lifted
And my heart was free of ills

Around me swirled the snowflakes 
Tumultuous as the sea
My soul felt lighter and lighter
As trembling, I fell to my knees

Mind flying with the stars
As feelings bounce and ricochet
The burning of my breath
Is by the cold washed away 

I see the sights I never knew
Could be, through my mind’s eye
As lightning melds into sunshine
And the sea into the sky

The soothing coolness envelops me
As my thoughts slow and numb
As I lay, tucked away
I know my battle is won
