The fire of the winter sun

May burn my eyes

But the glow of the winter moon

Can calm my soul



Icy cold winds

Lash at my skin

The numbing bite

On my fingertips

All that is grim

And all that is cold

Wrapped in the chill

As the dark winter unfolds



Burning on the horizon

The blinding fiery blaze

Shimmering through the tree tops

The soothing silvery orb



A bitter tempest

Enshrouds me

Chilling my bones

A freezing paralysis

All that is grim

And all that is cold

Wrapped in the chill

As the dark winter unfolds



Feel the burn of the bright winter sun

Searing and warning of the darkness to come

Enter the era of ice, snow and frost

Into the realm where the daylight is lost



All the trees have withered

Naked branches creak and sway

The cold dead earth preserves

It’s roots beneath the clay
