Cold..so cold.

<>Autumn’s here, leaves fall to the ground..
Bare branches, knotted and gnarled.
Framed against an austere and bleak sky

A wind blows from here to nowhere.

<>The ground seems to have frozen over
No sign of the lively green anywhere

Just the quiet and heavy blanket of white

Life put to sleep, dreaming of sunnier days.

<>In a corner burns a fire, meek and dying..
One solitary being, seeking warmth, so it seems…

Labored breath and lifeless movements…

An angel in rags coated with flakes of winter snow.

<>Cracked, sealed lips.. is there a story to tell ?
What mystery hides behind those listless eyes..

Of money, friends, family or love…

Which be the reason for his falling from grace..
<>

The cold seems to be courting death…
Life, dulled into an endless slumber..

N yet, the face deceivingly peaceful and calm..

Resigned to fate, he beckons the end.
