It is that time, again;
Silence settles
As frost does atop the grass -
We are near to each other,
If only physically,
If only to feel the warmth.

Streams no longer flow,
Frozen in place:
It is the blood in our veins,
The feelings
We once had,
We once held.

The wildlife has ceased to be,
Hidden away,
The creatures sleep.
Sluggish, we crumble -
Too cold to love,
Too cold to care.

We are near to each other,
If only to feel the warmth;
The feelings
We once had
Crumble -
It is too cold to care.

The blood in our veins,
Frozen in place.
The grass
Beneath the frost.
