The cold wind slaps my face
With a sharp rebuke
Harsh winter runs its icy finger
Down my spine
Freezing feelings
Turning my fingers into icicles
My heart into a frozen icebox
All the vital signs at a crawl
Slowing and shivering.
Thoughts will thaw
When kissed by the spring
Taking over the reins
Allowing me a free run
To spread my wings, to imagine
With my face up to the sun
Feeling its warmth seep in.
Good one π

A beautiful way to capture the lengthening of days. May your harvest include the continuing verve with which you write. WInter has to acquiesce to spring, eventually. Loved the use of figurative language here.

Winds of winter & a dream of spring. Is this based on Game of Thrones?

Will you believe me if I tell you that neither have I watched a single episode of GOT nor read any book! Based on the sudden cold wave in Delhi π
As always, thanks for your read Satyen.

Oh. Ok. Youβre not missing much anyway. Though I like it, I think GoT is pretty much overrated. In either case outstanding writing as always.
