Winter's Soul


A winter’s afternoon
Everything looks frozen

Even the sun

There’s a scent of crisp death
In the air

Despair seems to linger
Down upon the snow swept streets

I wonder is it the season
That makes everything feel so bleak

Or, is it something more?

That we can’t comprehend
So, we simply chose to ignore

Perhaps, winter
Is the true embodiment
of our souls? 1
