Reflections on Cold Times


 










Reflections on Cold Times

Cold winds, fingers of ice, blow
Nights are dark with sleeting rain
The fire's warmth is all aglow
In our cosy home, a sweet refrain.

The cold within, the hands of ice
As an Eskimo calling, shivering
The body shaking, this is a price
Heart beat in pain, a withering

The mind fading, old age, decay
Icy winds blowing in thought
The memory waning, slipping away,
Aging mindscape, a present fraught.

Frosty winds, a chill that bites,
Thoughts in shivers, wintry sights.
