Lying in Wait

A blanket of sadness

Covers me like snow

Falling in silence

Where dark and unknown

Changing with the winds

Blowing, deep, the drift

I’m buried underneath

Frostbit and frozen stiff

Sudden chills and shivers

’Cross my heart in languish

When weight, too much to bear

Breaks my fragile branches

I’m hoping for the sun

To emerge from clouds of gray

And thaw my heart to warm

From the winter; my dismay
