     Shades of Winter

 

Even as the seasons change
I'm slowly changing.

As the long nights pass
I'm steadily discarding
dead, useless sentiments,
once cherished memories
of you and yesterday.

There's no room in my life
for the hopelessness
losing you made me feel,
but there's no denying
the shades of winter
coming over me.

I'm being cloaked in garments
of snow white and sky-deep blue.

I'm insulated from thoughts of you,
and I'm waiting for spring,
helplessly anticipating
rebirth and life anew.
