Winter...
That reoccurring theme running through my soul.
Deadening my heart and stilling my will.
Mad and frost bitten I plea for deaths final embrace.
As the season pushes onward
Spring never coming soon enough,
Never warming the core.
As I sit in silence watching the snow,
I see myself falling further into freezing.
I see useless hands blackened and dead.
I thought these fingers were meant for something.
Fruitful endeavors exploring the soul.
They now sit senseless save the pain;
Pins and needles reminding me of their wasted existence.
My eyes become blinded by the cold
And from staring into the snowy void.
What was I to see as I looked into the freeze?
Like reading Greek my eyes got lost in the scanning;
But the white of snow brings on vertigo.
And the insanity of the search leave only nightmares.
Things my fingers could never translate.

is the snow in your poem metaphorical, or does it snow that far down south?
