Winter- in a hurry to bid farewell As the lonesome trees slouched, their leaves hung low People longed for their loved ones to return The cold mess unearthed the deep seated warmth of the households from aeons ago! ‘Twas different this time The chill-instead of freezing and drying- was the cause For light and laughter among the masses and A reason for everyone’s applause The end to a decade Stirred up emotions, even within the emotionless Some mourned for the ages lost, some prayed for the ones left Alas! All rejoiced and all were blessed! A salutation for the last month- As it is the last one to see us fall The last one to see us rise again like Phoenix from the ashes and gather his soul Winter- we shall meet again When the horizon and the Sun are no longer apart And the days are shorter and colder with the need of a fire- in front- Along with the one in our hearts!
