Winter

clutch me in your fingers

and sink me through

your spectrum

of winter wonderland snares

Winter

smother me in your smell

of pine, and silver

frosted grass blades, brine

of a raging grey sea

Winter

steal me away,

so we may sing the blues once more

fill my ears with winter bell ring 

wash me up on a grey pebbled shore

Winter

oh winter, hold me in your arms

don't ever drop me

on the cold floor again.

Don't ever let me drown again

Deliver me to spring

in safe arms, cold winter.
