Will Winter Last Forever?

I sat alongside the window still

Gazing out beyond the hills

My eyes guarded to find the rainbow

But around me was only fog and chills

My eyes had a look of daze

Somehow the fog had me amazed

The chills that went down my spine

Were unable to disturb my gaze

I heard the nature call

I heard everything within and outside the walls

I heard the silence of the winds

I heard the bittering of trees tall

The fog has hidden every treasure within 

The nature to its power gave in

The sky never cleared

It was long since the light had been

A cold and dry day it was

The rainbows had become my lost cause

For the inside of me longed for some light

The grey and black of my life took over because

The dryness of the weather juxtaposed to my eyes

Where within the tears my secret lies

Overflowing with pain and darkness

My eyes i don't know why cries

The rainbows have become my past

Like the fog the grey of my life continue to last

The colours have disappeared 

The darkness on my life its shadow cast

But there's a hint of hope that still prevails

The chills in my spine with the wind sails

Will winter last forever? My heart asks

To nature my life hails.
