A Warm Farewell: To A Former Ice Igloo House Poem by Terence George Craddock

winter robbed this house of light warmth summer sunshine
vibrant light fresh clean on shimmer summer leaves sparkling
was replaced with colder days grey light rain warmth stealing

days cold stark no warmth warm comfort redeeming
cold settles deep into winter house overnight in cold dawn biting
cold cold is a shadow creeping slow over silent winter days passing

time time is empty encased sap dormant in life sun traverse sinking
in mystic gardens of mind poet refuses to cast fertile life seed sprouting
poet sleep sleep deep sleep all winter frozen awake to fresh spring write
