Dawn & Dusk

I feel the ice
Congealing around my heart
And like frost-bitten toes
My emotions drop off

The winter days encircle me
The coldness seeps in
I have forgotten what summer is like
The beautiful blooms of spring

I shiver on the porch
Waiting for these days to be over
For this ice palace in my chest
To be there no longer

For one day I believe
I will see the first lights of spring
And these winter days
Will be lost to the wind
