Winter's lover

Winter time has a hold on me.

From the frozen cherry tree.

Whose love I knew was free.

To warm breezes but not me.

Time promised me a spring bride.

From winter's melting towers stride.

Whose warmth towards me never shied.

Until Fall came forth, chilling my bride.

Have the world's leaves turned?

From the sun's rays, the green burned.

Whose embers’ heat I had learned.

Could the sun forgive my heart?

For turning?

From stride to stumble

as the leaves under me

crumbled.

I asked her to hold me

but winter came

and froze me.

So now when snow falls

I become one with the ground

hoping that beautiful sound

is you.
