Crouching Winter, Hidden Sunshine...

Winter waits,
crouching behind the horizon
hiding from the sunshine
that keeps it at bay for yet another day,
looking to spread its cold blanket
upon the Northern regions
of the hemisphere
and bring the rains
to the Southern cousins
A cup of coffee in Styrofoam
warms me from within
as people bundled in layers
hunch their shoulders
against the cold that has increased
in the last few days
Fight the good fight,
keep your face turned
to the warmth and light
If you are prepared
you know you just might
keep the icicles
from piercing your heart...
