Winter

Grey and more grey

Dimness covers everything

Cold wet quietness

In the middle of winter

Staring out a window

Framed by old memories

Lowly lighted roomness

Winter slowly ebbing

Iridescent monitor

Becomes my companion

Coolness down to the bone

Weather will not let go

In my little space

Sitting on my bed

Together with my thoughts

I realize it is April

Red budding blooms

Peak their way out

From the grey stillness

So very far away
