AN IRONIC EPITOME OF WINTER

Son
Unreached

Son
Unreaching

Son
Estranged
Acquaintance fleeting

Son
Displeased

Son
Displeasing

Son
Indifferent
Atmosphere freezing

Endure the absent warmth,
Find faith to fuel the furnace of forgiveness,
Clothe the coldest nights and days with hope,
Blanket a sonless heart of ice with love.

Face the unmerciful elements with courage,
Praying Son Of God please bring the thaw...
Brace every fibre of being for war...

Else this could be forevermore...
AN IRONIC EPITOME OF WINTER.
