Old Man Winters Right Hand Man
HE WEARS A COPPER BRACELET,
WRAPPED AROUND HIS WRIST.
HE SPEAKS OF OLD MAN WINTER,
OFTEN WITH A TWIST.
THE BUST OF OLD MAN WINTER,
IS ON THAT COPPER BAND.
BOTH HE AND OLD MAN WINTER,
ARE FROM UNWORLDLY ANCIENT LAND.
SOME SAY HE LIVED A THOUSAND LIVES,
HE IS SAID TO BE IMMORTAL.
LEGEND TELLS US HE WILL COME AND GO,
BY PASSING THROUGH A PORTAL.
HE'LL TELL YOU HE'S OBSERVER,
OF BOTH TIME AND EARTH.
HE REPORTS TO OLD MAN WINTER,
FOR WHAT IT'S REALLY WORTH.
HE SHARES HIS OBSERVATIONS,
THROUGH POETRY ACROSS THE LAND.
A CHALLENGE TO ALL MORTAL BEINGS,
OF WINTERS COLD DEMANDS.
