winter reborn

Folder: 
Pang of Ulster

Come forth fall of ice cold rain

Behold the coming frost

Bring me back to winter once again


Icy winds leave painted glass

To whom has winter fallen upon

For which images etched never last


Vine and tree bough no longer holding fruits

Bare as vulture picked bones

Freezing from tree top to roots


Frost bitten in pain nothing grows

All lay frozen and silent

A slow decent of coming snows


the winter holds us as flesh yearns

For the warmth of licking flames 

The fires of birth which still burns


Waiting for the death promised

While we drop away from the life

in which we are harnessed


And each staggering breath

Coming closer to the step

the gate in which we embrace death


A blanket of snow land now adorns

Another season has lain dead

From which winter is reborn
