Release The Hardship That Hibernates

I wear winter in faded shades of blue  
with specks of  grey holding true  
beckoning me back to nightly sleep  
where flowers bloom and summers keep  
 
I wear winter in rugged fingers worn  
where dismal lies and beauty's torn  
through fields once bright and mighty strong  
filled with nature's love and simple song  
 
I wear winter in a rough and solemn face  
filled with memories that fell from grace  
where wind wrapped skies hide back the sun  
behind dark storms never to come out again  
 
I wear winter but she can't wear me  
spring will come with all her security  
warm smiles spill within a filtered touch  
an enchantment I can never have too much
