winters fire burns cold within me
closing my eyes i feel the white
sandy beaches of my youth warm
blue seas swimming around
in my mind...

maybe this year the tide is turning
although the cold bleak days are
ahead of me love is now in my life
i see magic in the prisms of color of
every snowflake...

a gulf of warm air making it's way
to my heart relighting the inner
passion within me...this year the short
days and long nights of winter will not
be so grim...
