Within my soul I gaze out
The windows of my eyes
It is winter
And snow covers the ground
Rugged life bears the cold and wind
Tender life hides beneath the earth
Awaiting the light of the morning sun
To return to the summer of youth
Imbolc approaches
My inner nature rises
Though I yet feel as stone
The cold seeped into my bones
But thaw I will
And move again in youthful grace
Among the vestiges of Spring
