Winter




  I call forth now
   upon the bareness of winter,
   the empty, desolate, fields of snow
   aching with coldness and solitude.
  
   I call as if casting a dark spell
   upon myself
   to rekindle the emptiness you gave
  so fully,
   so completely,
  until I too became that solid piece of crystal
   falling to the ground.

   Only then,
   when the shadows shroud my face
   can I truly write the words that long to come free
  like that stubborn blade of grass
  trying desperately to push itself through
  the frozen mounds of earth.

  Only then, can I be somewhat lightened,
  like when a golden hint of sun
   hits the granite stone upon a grave
   for but a moment to give it life
  and make it glisten once again.

  So come to me now deep ebony
   and bitter silence,
   I beckon you frost
  and ice coated tongue,
  for only when you come and collect me once more
  can I begin to whisper that slowly easing hint of breath.

  Only then, can I begin to melt
   into the drops of water and salt
  that fell from our heaven,
  only then, will
  my eyes fill with oceans of blue green.

   Only then can we settle deep in the spring of our love
    when clouds became ships  
   and we the gossamer sails.

   So come now my beloved season
    and set me free...
