Winters Knell

In soft, velvet gloves

winter taps at my door,

as gently her tears

tell me it's time.

 

Drawn into the hypnotic

rhythm of her sighs,

I lock my treasure chest of memories

preparing for my journey.

 

The suddenly with force,

her touch beats like a drum roll,

as thunderous clamour

breaks this trance I befell.

 

As lilting snowflakes

perpetrate her assault,

my spiritual embers

slowly reignite.

 

With increased clarity

I know time is still on my side

and I cast aside her chill of death,

unlocking this souls door 

for suns warmth.

    Wow.
    I am just ... chilled slightly by how you describe winter as a lady tapping at the door.
    Brillant!
