Night Solace (Welcome Cold)
Night Solace (Welcome Cold)
I walk on an unlit path,
Each step crisp to first frosts
And solace found in
The gentle cloak of darkness.
A lonely shiver.
Star lit exhalations illuminated in
A million breath crystals.
The moon parts the clouds
And a welcome cold descends.
A frozen stillness.
Trees form silhouettes against
The river where warmth
Once laid it's happy hand,
But now the flow is cold.
A chilling blackness.
I wait for morning,
Surrounded by night
