Strong Winds



The cold settles in
with a strong wind
chills to the bone
to describe it
i dont know where to begin
thoughts of love and feelings
race through my mind
as the cold settles in
then i realize its cold
my bones are old
and things im thinking did never unfold
the dreams and wishes that never came through
people and places
that just are not true
my eyes start to close
forever i suppose
the cold takes me away
the cold
The cold
the cold settles in
