Wintery Mix

When in Winter and Words Will not Wake...
What do we do? Quote the Words of another. Thank you Colin Meloy.


It was a cold night
And the snow lay low


There's a swallow, there's a calm
Here's a hand to lay on your open palm today


And under the boughs unbowed
All clothed in a snowy shroud

All out beyond horizon
A grey sky, a bitter sting


And all the stars were crashing 'round
As I laid eyes on what I'd found


"Oh, adhere to me for we are bound by symmetry
And whatever differences our lives have been
We together make a limb"


Here we lie waiting for something to startle
To shake us from gravity's pull
