Winter of Discontent

Discontent rages across the land
aggravation all around
this winter of discontent
troubles ferment.

In the air stillness
a calmness
troubling silence
everywhere noiselessness.

A sign of the times ahead
portent of anger bottled.
Fears long held at bay
ready for a way.

Quiet before the storm
hormonal
seminal
future lukewarm.

Mistakes of the past
amassed
coming home
ready to blossom.

Winter of discontent
under still surface
mephitic
fetid.

Yet hope rising
reach out
touch
feel.

Still winter gives birth
to brightness, mirth
depression shaken off
joyfulness reigns supreme.
