Winter Bones

Today I feel as cold as winter bones,

As harsh and unforgiving as icy rocks;

Sharp and lifeless as is folded steel,

Drifting like a spaceman far above.

Tethered, I see the Earth below.

The swirl of light and skies,

Laughter booms, I hear it from here.

The world glows with life…

Still, I feel as cold as winter bones,

Drifting beneath the stars.

Far far away…in the silence of space.
