Winter poem
Autumn ends
And winter approaches
Trees are bare of leaves
Instead covered with frost

Grass coated in light snow crinkles beneath your shoes
And i can almost taste the freshness

November fades into december
Light coverings of snow turn into piles taller than me

The cold swiftly turned brutal
Countless days are spent warmly inside
Doing all the things i used to do
Soft eyes gazing out the window

I remember the last winter
Walking in the snowstorm to nurse your sickness
My nose as red as ripe cherries
My hair frozen at the ends
Your smile sent my body awry
And i wondered why i was frozen in the first place
A sweater is pulled over my pale skin
And i buried my fingertips in the sleeves

I chew on my peppermint candy cane and smile
For i know i'll see you in my dreams this winter
