• A light so gentle,
    soft, and sweet.
    The winter's breath
    against your heat.

    You've come too late,
    or far too soon,
    finding yourself
    under snow and moon.

    Take your breath of air,
    retreat underground.
    You're not quite ready
    for the world all around.

    Summer will come back for you,
    so back to your mound.
    Get away from all this frost
    without a glimmer to be found.

    Hide your flicker away for a while
    waiting may cause a surprise.
    Life and vitality won't last forever,
    so save it for my eyes.
