On a Cold Morning

Wrote this while freezing my ass off in -1C weather!

It's late morning and the frost lingers

As my breath mists in the air

Winter runs his cold fingers

Through the sleep-tangles of my hair

-

Morning light hits the lace, scattered on leaves

Hanging from spiderwebs which hang from the eaves.

-

I stand in the doorway hoping to find,

Some answer or meaning in the calm countryside

But there's only silence, echoing in my mind

The magic is broken, and I go back inside.
