...winter

And so again winter came
Ends the cycle of the year
Ever so the same
Culling sadness of days gone by
A voice that calls both far and near
A kiss a sigh we say goodbye
The falling snowflakes’ silent call
Quiescence for a crystal tear
Mourns for those whom the bell does toll
Lies forlorn the winter cold
A silent cleansing from the shear
The weary the tired the very old
