As Winter is Upon Us
October 27, 2011

As winter is upon us,
and the seas freeze around us,
we just glare at the sun,
we look to the sky,
and wonder why.

Time has passed everything by,
like a gentle sigh,
it moves by,
hardly registering as it ought,
the hands on a grandfather clock.

The trees shake in the wind,
one day green,
the next looking dreary and mean.
How odd is the scene,
where everything is empty and lean.

Memories fall from our brain,
going astray,
our minds drift away,
trying to stay fit,
when everything goes a miss.

When dreams mix with reality,
the colors blend,
all dripped onto the plain white floor,
the warmth entering a house,
that shyly shuts the door.

Glitter from sun light,
to snow bright,
shimmer from great height,
hits the water just right.
A twinkle in the starry winter night.
