Winter's Child

Autumn-- nature’s reminder
that nothing lasts forever
is it by circumstance
Does every being choose the bounty of life
And the sweet sting of death…..

I am winter’s child
gracing a pensive space
Bleeding red in the depths
Of snow white

And yet my eyes are crystal clear
Searching for simplicity
And the warmth of home

In the midst are glittering lights
nestled in an
Inky sky

Below a solitary wolf howls
At the moon---
