Winter
A cold and crispy morning
North wind swirling all around.
Ice on the sidewalk
which my feet have found.
My ears growing numb
my fingers touch the cold
creaking from the ground
my feet can scarcely hold.
Frost on the car's glass;
Winter breath has finely come.
Snow will be here quickly
bring joy to everyone.
Ice through the parking lot
clings to every car
giving grief to all of us
who have to travel far.
Such beauty in the white
such pain in the cold
caught without my overshoes
or my winter coat,
so I stop for a moment
amazed by this crystal shell
and noticed there was nothing
old man winter couldn’t sell.
