Winter

Wild wind roars

Hands red raw

Yet behind closed doors

Low spirits soar

Though harsh winter bites

With its blanket of white

Inside chill takes flight

By welcome firelight©

all eyes on screen

Numb

Though appear far from glum

Behind smile emotions numb

Hard to hang on

When battles can’t be won ©
