Winter Terror
Darkness looms as coldness steals upon you
sneaking even into bed with you
to pester you with sleepless nights
with no chance ever to get warm again,
as nightmares gather in delirious crowds
to drive you nuts and sick all over,
fever raging in your veins,
as everything continues to get worse.
And still, right in the heart of darkness
suddenly again there was a recognition
of the kind of love that never dies
but keeps revitalizing
even under the most desperate conditions,
graciously renewing all your energy and strength
by simply showing off in sheer existence,
the supreme untouchability
of sovereign integrity of beauty,
carrying all before her through the ages,
as is her normal wont and operation,
never brought down or defeated,
pure serenity of absolute survival.
Thank you for thus gracing me
by only making an appearance,
instantly replacing all the winter terrors
with resplendent light.
