Fresh Snowfall

Winter's strong hand reaches for your bones

Shadows intermingle with fresh snowfall

What joy is there in a heart cold as stone?

So far away is the chickadee's tones

With great ease does such poetry enthrall

Winter's strong hand reaches for your bones

All that greet your ear are the frigid groans

Of evergreens assaulted by stiff squalls

What joy is there in a heart cold as stone?

On the forefront of your psyche there drones

Black nihilism's ever-constant call

Winter's strong hand reaches for your bones

You have long forgotten when hope last shone

when shadows over your heart did not crawl

What joy is there in a heart cold as stones?

Between the vigorous gale's icy moans

And the constant layers of fresh snowfall

Winter's strong hand reaches for your bones

What joy is there for a heart cold as stone?
