Hello winter 
dancing snowflakes, bristling wind 
Hello winter 

hold me safe in your embrace 
beside the fireplace 
melt away the frigid day 

I got a very old text message today. 

I remember when it was sent many yesterdays past. 

It dropped down from the top of my screen in a little box, 

The world has long since held me down and forced me to instill myself with the notion that I am worthless.

I am not.

Or am I?

The thick night cloaks everything and the snow follows suit

a delicate dance, welcome

after two years of rainy Decembers. 

My room is cold even though

the heat is blasting, so I sit
