AT WINTER'S ARRIVAL
There’s a chill that goes through the air
The fall takes its last gasp
The birds brace for the cold to come
My heart anxious as the winter hours near.
The warmth of the summer long gone
The green of the rains now passed
It’s time for the winter king’s reign
It’s time for life to freeze and shatter.
Soon these streams will cease to flow
Soon these trees will be covered in white
Soon my hands will go numb without your touch
And my heart will slow in wait for the sun of your face.
The birds will fly off to lands afar
The creatures will lie buried in deep
The sound of life will go silent
And you my beloved will be a dream distant.
The cold winds will ravage the land
The biting chill will freeze the soul
The fire no match for the relentless storms
As winter extends his terrifying kingdom.
But in this darkness
In this doom
In these endless
Backbreaking nights.
Life will find a way my dear
And so will I
The trees will lie in wait for spring
And I in wait of your warm embrace.
Your summer face to give me hope
Your rain drenched shape to give me love
Your promise at the end of fall
Will carry my heart in the hope of spring.
Like the forest waiting to shoot up with flowers
Like the birds waiting to sing again in the skies
Like the streams waiting to shed its icy realm
Like life waiting to be alive again.
I too shall lie in wait of spring
I too shall lie in wait of your face
Of holding you in my arms
Of loving you until this frozen heart thaws.
As the winter rages fiercely around
As the ice freezes all on its path
As life scampers to see another day
The memories of you my beloved
Will carry me on, on and on.
