Icy Clear

I once heard

that tears allow your eyes to see clearly

never have I found this more true than the season of winter

eerily cheery

oh, how the past escapes even though it is right near me

Some say that winter is weary

Not to mention overly dreary

I agree (only in theory)

Oh, how the past escapes

even though it is right near me

But there is something so sincerely fierce

about how the air makes your bones feel chilly

how the snow brushes your hair oh so delicately

and love

well, love seems silly

full of snow fights and candle lights

while the wind hears me

Winter, as fearful as you are

I know you will steer me towards what is near and far

Because I know you are

not so grim

after all
