"Heat"
Warm tea
Chunks of red meat
Dancing in clouds of white dust
Before laying in sizzling red juices
Warm room
Cry at the thought
Delighting my senses
But just a promise to keep me warm
Cold breeze
Chilling my bones
Sunlight void of warmth
Brightening the snow covered ground
Chilled bodies
Channeling there way through
Snow covered trees and homes
Brighten the sight of busy roads and paths
Car moving
Carefully leaving the city behind
Sunlight suddenly obscured
Blinded by snow -
blanketing the sky
