Blood Will Tell

Shoulders slumped
feet a-shuffle
head bowed
bodies huddled

Winter's bite
brings misery
the season's cold
a treachery

But the chill is in
my blood and bone
born and raised
with sleet and snow

Trying it can be
pitted against the freeze
with only will and serenity
yearning for Summer's ease

But I'd never trade
long Winter's night
or the glare
of frost burned white.
