Before the winter
barren and bleak
in the watches
on autumn night
There my voice
was divested
by cruelest loss
and trespass of right

An aching spirit
finding eternal
this echo deep
and hindsight wide
tossed on restless
and relentless worry
robbing sleep
with each tide

You stepped upon
this grave my dear;
danced above
without fear
Your eyes so cold
and haunting laugh
These alone
are all I have

Somewhere as
the snow flies now
Let inner eye
somehow find
Winter's a dream
passing by
until summer breaks
on tomorrow skies
