OUR DEAR ONES

In this overwhelming winter freeze
you arrived and embraced me, the
white snow now warms my soul.

We wonder why we are bleak and
bleary, wishing to be cheery, leaving
our fears behind.

We have sandbags in our hearts. We
build a wall with them connecting us
together, caving any adversity that
befalls us.

Though our sky up north is without flying
birds, flapping and floating their shelter on
us, our hearts soar with wings of peace
from our loved ones being near to us.
