Winter

Now winter is playfully on Bringing frost as it intended to be Breezy cold song and free Anything drifting in the dark Summer moods long away gone On to the far and the going deep Nothing for spring days to keep Those that did once here spark Everything is now in its cold Painting the winter gray sky Feelings low that once were high Bringing the colors to old Winter is day by day Moods of pale and the gray Winter is now to stay On to the dim lonesome day The frost roses now here unfold On to my windows and plane Curving their icily strain Of silvery threads and mold
