Winter
In silence I see a shadow,
Drift through the summer storm
Ghostly manners, so defining
A secret that once was known
I reached out to touch the shadow
Since it now had gained a form
But it drifted like a lightning,
And made me move along.
My feet now learning and speed defining,
My ache to know the truth
As winds so fierce brought heavenly tears
I simply stood to see
The pain now reached ecstatic heights
And darkness turned to white.
As flakes of bitter coldness cried,
My heart was in throbbing plight.
I watched as the form, stopped to stare
Up at the dim grey dawn
It produced a hand: reaching out
And turned to meet me right there
We walked in careful counted steps
To meet our only dawn
A dream we see in destiny
That forever, will be gone.
