Our old pains
Are like
Last year’s
Snow
Stuck in the
Crevices of rocks
Hidden
Far away
From the golden
Rays of July
Sunshine

In the deepest
Darkest corners of
Our souls

Where no life-giving
Warm rays
Can melt away
The dusty words said

Where
The snowy attitudes
And the messages froze
In ice

With every snowflake fallen
Every cold breeze chilling
Cheeks to
Frostbitten

It’s really time
Our planet turns
And the life-giving force
Of summer sunshine
Reaches
Our nooks
