A Cold Night by Pamela Griffiths
A woman stares through the window and
shivers
The ice is painted over all the land
and rivers
Nothing is the same now the winter has
arrived
She sits and thinks of past winters
that she survived
Icy frosted patterns are gathering
together
This is the beginning of the wintery
weather
Through the window she see’s a
blanket of white
It looks like the earth has died of
fright
Who is this woman with the haunting
eyes?
Looking out towards the earth as it
dies
She is cold and lonely she stares at
the frost
Saddened by the cold as the summer is
lost
