The Big Freeze

"its cold"

you'll say
"its dark"

you'll say

"its hard"

which is true

the ice creeps

and the night is long

but there are times

when we must do things

we do not want to do

many times

we must endure

things which we would rather not

the winter 

is a reminder of this

and despite its difficulty

you cannot deny

its unrelenting beauty
