I forgot about this one, this was from a challenge a little bit ago on the rythms of frost...i was told to post this seperatly and forgot till now...anyways...

Death of Summer

One winter’s morn I sought to weep
My body captured -neath the sheets
The suns embrace upon my face
Inscribed my skin three layers deep

With lines of beauty and of grace.
The Winter’s morn had won the race,
Nature’s course had been set in stone,
Held up by nothing more than lace.

Yet that mourning I sat alone,
And watched the light that it had shone
Lifted so high up in the sky
Like it had something to atone

One Winter’s morn I broke and cried
When natures stone fell from the sky
Forever winter will survive
Forever winter will survive.

Beauty is truth, truth beauty

Great writing, Matt.

Take care.......Sue
