Sounds of Winter


the sounds of winter are oh, so silent
snow dances its ballet with no drumming
the wind comes and goes in a huff and a puff
but then returns to nothing on its exit
the pond freezes over time and yet
the fishes therein make no noticeable melody
how the songs of carolers stir our hearts
as the out of doors suffers lack of resonance
and in their planned harmony we feel
warmth against the dire cold of the season
were it just a moment to remember the lost
such dumbness might be tolerable
yet, it is such intolerance that urges our harmony
our coming together in joy
