Cancerous Winter

Cancerous winter ravages trees like your body The disease spreads through the air as if in blood Torrent rain re-enact heavy flowing tears Puddles reflect on present life Swollen river banks resemble bodily retention Bitter cold makes feelings so numb Never before has winter felt so sad Hibernation of thoughts will carry us through ‘Til a new dawn breaks mourning in spring The pain captured within last season May a new life of hope begin.
