The Long December

December cast her
Cold, steely gaze
On me
Her eyes
Slowly blinking
Foretelling moment
For the
Long
Cold
Days ahead
Snow came quick
To vanquish
The warmth of summer
And she
She just smiled
Her frosty breath
Floating in the air
I'm forced
To rush inside
Wrap myself
Under my warm
Soft
Blanket
Counting my blessings
My dearest of friends
