---===* Solitude *===---
I am a fortress.
I wait.
Crystals of cold tears
Await the love of rebirth
In the warmth of spring.
The world is cold, alone.
The wind numbs.
Spires of frozen rain
Wait for winter's final release
In the warmth of spring.
Someday it will be spring.
The wind a chinook.
Cold shall never stay.
When ice turns to silken hair.
In the warmth of spring.
I am a fortress.
I know.
Rock shall ever wait
For the caress of sunlight.
In the warmth of spring.
