A Lil' Warmth On A December Day

An expanded and edited version, of my poetic response to, Kalypso's poem, "Ice Queen". http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/kalypso/1458612/

I see you

Standing off

In the distance.

Shivering

Radiating frigid waves

Of heat

From your body.

 

Want to help

Beyond

Giving you
A warming seat
By the fire.

To dethaw
Your frozen heart

And body.

But scared

How to approach

Without alarming

Or frightening you

By my presence.

Knowing
In a few more days
Another month
Is acomin'.

Bringing
With it
A new sense
Of hope
And opportunity.

Chasing away
Your frigid blues
For another year.

As the sun

Embraces you

In its warming arm.

Taking away

Your December blahs

Until next year.
