What fortress speaks of winters mood
while summer cries do fill the air
of wonderment in brash holidays
that take me away from here.
In simple times I have failed my tongue
allowing my soul to sink
till I could fathom no more
my hearts bleeding for sake of thee.
To which I lived my small lie
thinking I had won the game
when life finnally came alive
the game had won over me.
Now summers cries fill my head
as winter has come to me
my heart begins tofloorish once more
letting my winter solstice a chance to breathe.

"To which I lived my small lie
thinking I had won the game
When life finally came alive
The game had won over me"   EXCELLENT.  I loved this part especially.  Says so much and is so often very true.   A keeper.  Thank you!

To capture and live a moment is truly living

I too have missed your work.  I've been quite busy, but it's always wonderful to see your words.

The Solstice comes soon.
