Winter

The last few leaves have fallen
And winter has arrived
Harsh and cold, it preys on those
Who are lonely in their heart
The wanderers whose family and friends
Do not suffice to fill the emptiness
That resides within them

Even the warm cheers of children
Do little to soothe the turmoiled souls
And yet in the cold dark night
As the soft luminous blanket settles
To the ground, the lonely hearts
Together breathe in the fresh air

One smile follows another and soon
A glowing aura of joy, though bittersweet,
Resounds in the icy arena of winter
Just for one instant their gloom
Turns to hope, and thoughts fall
On the ones whom they cherish

The last few leaves have fallen
And winter has arrived
The lonely souls have found once again
The path to where home is
Right within, in their hearts
