Winter Ways

The gilded dream of autumn's breath
embraced by winter's frozen kiss
on the stage of summer's death
and given forms that our hearts enlist

Here in dark and quiet seats
we watch the falling sky of white
and these lovers as they meet
Two seasons passing in the night

Moments as close as these seem rare
even to angels and all who surround
Warmest days with skies so fair
find the coldest nights all around

Yet as the branches newly bare
cling to axioms of shorter days
the world pretends quite unaware
and forgets these winter ways
