the external cold
attempts to cross boundaries
internal warmth saves

forging on, breaking through
a fire, a warm bed, food, and love

Blazing Trails
the fall of new snow
sleds rushing past tall hazards
childhood memories
Chilled
chaotic winds emerge
white snowflakes blanket branches
globe starts to settle
Winter Is Coming
Redux
layered in comfort
protection from the shivers
breathing in chilled air
Winter Blues
aching and tired
pulling from nothingness
stretched beyond breaking
icy snow falls
it’s cold and wet
sandy white beaches beckon
new hope emerges
imagining a better day
capturing a moment of bliss
The Chill
end to the season
the colors of nature dull
winter frost clinging
Brrrrrr
This night, cold and icy. I gaze at the huge, gorgeous orb and the shadows it casts around my castle, feeling goosebumps and serenity. Odd how I can feel excitement and ease at the same time. I watch as my breath adds a layer of fog to my vision.
But it’s too frigid out here. This selenophile must go back now. The only warmth I’m feeling is the slight glow from my staff. Serves me right if I freeze to death trying to see the moon from this vantage point.
Good night, lovely moon! Let’s meet again in the summer.
