Winter Chill

The winter chill

Can this be for real?

A dense bone

Isn’t alone

Covered in the warmth of skin

Why don’t you let the winter in?


Every forgotten snowman

Melted by the ray’s end

Can this be true?

This cold makes me brand new

Seasons makes me equppied

For the seasons have me by the hip

How Can I?

Leaves

I ask if you love them
You say, “How can I?”
“I am only human”
But we are called to a higher place
To love everyone

I ask if you felt whole by them
You say, “How can I?”
They always get under someone’s skin
But we are to look into our own eyes
And pull out the planks

People change like every season
Broken promises like leaves
Fall like Mother Nature teasin’
We crush them with our feet
And walk forward

Where’s peace and justice?
I am not really sure
I just see evil persist
But when the leaves fall
They will return to the Earth
