Monday Poem: Winter over our Heads

clip_image002

Winter over our Heads

The sky is dark, holding the threat
of winter over our bowed heads.

We are cold, huddled together,
waiting, ready to believe again

in the promise of the new spring
and that the world has not forgotten

all that we have offered to it in sacrifice
for the warm weather to come back to us

and show us its new growing light
and how we can live on beneath the sun

as though the winter will not come
and steal our warm lives away again.
