Poem
Winter’s cold chill cuts through my chin. Within its bleak and brazen embrace, My brisk days are turned brief and barren. They are lengthened into sordid sepulchral insomniac nights. I slither and slip and am hurled into hibernation. Once I stood with you immune to wanton winter’s wild whiplash. You wrapped me warm from the wrath of winter’s whirlwind. Our life moved in homogeneous harmony. With one glaring glance from you, my heart hummed halcyon tunes. I danced blissfully in tandem to your sweet soulful songs. Your luminous, lambent light shone brightly, Blazing the dark and desolate caves and crevices within me. Now I stand and stay rooted like the trunk of a leafless tree, Giving no shelter or shade to anyone. With despondent dread and disappointment, I watch the sap and serum in me going dry, And the feathers on my wings wilt and wither like dead leaves. With the flaming fire put out, winter has brashly barged into my life. My lips once so eloquent now have fallen still and silent. All the words I have carefully gleaned and garnered, Have slipped and slid into a bottomless abyss, never to be heard again. My lulling lyrics are replaced with the reverberating refrains of a lament. An icy crystallization is speedily spreading, Through my sentient soul like an ache, I have never known. Grey cumulus clouds of pain have rolled into steal, All light, luster and luminosity from my bright sky. Now my world has cracked and crumbled into a bleak void of grey. I twitch and tremble in cold as you have withdrawn your warmth. A late realization has now daringly dawned outside my door. I am not to perish and putrefy in this cold, But be dauntless and dashing to fight, thaw and tread my way, Battle the intense cold in flaming, flaring fires. After every frosty and freezing winter, other seasons will arrive . Summer is an inviolable and unassailable power within, And in its warmth I can vanquish the chilling cold. I shall wake up with a syrupy sweet song in my lips And find myself in the luminous light of a dawning day!
