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.
