to many, the winter brings dread
cold winds with constant flurries
delays of distractions
but at night
the winter gives back
an ilumination in the dark
light refractions
filling voids
bringing secrets to vision
all kept from other seasons
a true beam that reveals
what has always been there
like gaining a new sense
learning an old truth
regaining peace
how cruel it is
that it comes quickly
leaving just as so
do you long
again
for days of rain, sun, and death
let us take comfort
in these days
where the snow shines
in the dark sky
