Winter Roots

"Winter Roots"


Wicked painful, black roots sing
stony groping, towards unseen springs.

Wind still whipping at your back
this shapeless figure's relentless attack.

As deeper, deeper you must drive
just to keep yourself alive.

All your clothes have now been shed
shamed, alone, you bow your head.

Boughs bend low to hide the shame
the trunk that bears the lovers name.

Mind's eye dawning to the reason
for this frigid, frozen season.

Life's song calls yet from the depths
begging you "Try to forget!"

Strain and scratch, the wellsprings there!
Wounded limbs will find repair.

Life springs new with second chances
children now play in your branches.

Winter roots grown vast and long
the meanest season made you strong.
