Autumn's gone, winter's come
And the floating leaves are Fallen.
What before was just an illusion,
A harsh reality now has become.

Harder and harder, it pushes,
Like a volcano - the residue ashes,
cold - icy cold, wind carries it.
What once was whole, is now undone.
Winter's snowflakes - unnecessary prerequisite,
Fiery frost falls from the empyrean.

Hide me from the throes of fire,
Cover me under an eternal blanket
of stars - I am too tired,
To construe a reality that isn't.
