How Winter Warmed Me Poem by Patrick Czyz

Amid the neck nipping flakes,
My chest is cold, even from within.
What torment this season has born!
The wait for summer will find me worn.

Winter has won...
Both my flesh and feelings freeze.
Together with the geese, my hopes flee
In the search for far-off places.

But like the ever rising heat,
Warmth wafts its way to my heart:
Whether it be from wearing a scarf from home,
Holding a another hand and seeing smiles,
Or closely hugging someone special.
