The chimes of winter
I open my door to seek the rain
and wonder when it will come again
Forgetting about the icy remains
Of frostbit hands wrinkled all the same
And I feel the drop of the temp in time
To stath off the cold of this Superbowl
And I know it won't be much longer now
Till the powers above cool the hour
And I put my jumper on now, in case
I have to feel winters bitter embrace
Which always hits me in the face
No matter how much I show my grace
And it blusts a hole to my warm heart
Like the embers of cole powering this old tart
With its roots spread wide throughout my veins
My bones feel every creek of pain
Yet my soul whispers ask again
Just one more baby sweet as the rain
