Out In The Cold
written by: Stuart M. Klimek
Beneath an ebony blanketed sky
I opened my ears to the wondering why
And laid myself down in a frost covered vale
To find rest from my walk along a wearisome trail.
There I heard her whisper — the wintery wind,
Reciting her journey as a tale without end.
Her breath swept across both my nose and my cheeks
As she told of her travels over snowy-topped peaks;
And she continued relating the northerly trek
As she spilled her chill down the nape of my neck.
It was then I closed eyes to empathize her pain
And asked would she mind to repeat the refrain.
The retelling commenced with a flurry of snow
And I began to have answers to that I would know.
But, alas, I grew deaf as a numbness took hold,
I could hear her no longer, left out in the cold.
