Winter

December 4, 2016

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme, as the days grow shorter and colder, is the approach of winter.

Today’s poem is about how winter brings us together.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Winter howls like winds or wolves or weeping,
Inviting us to witness pain and death.
No truth can better penetrate the shell
That insulates our empathy so well,
Essence of the entropy of breath
Returning us to one another's keeping.
