There's an ache that radiates
from within the quietest,
and most private parts of me
unseen, untouched by man

Like the wind-whipped air
that blows from the North
clawing at the heart that beats
in barely audible pulses

This ache, like no other
passes through with a shiver
that cacades down each vertibrae
leaving it's icy marks in it's wake

The faint sounds of howling
is heard off in the distance
and now echoes into the heart
of a woman now forlorn

The forboding blizzard
that tears at my soul
in menacing tones of regret
where sheets of ice form

An ache like no other
as the reality sinks deeper
searing like a hot iron
on the backhide of reality

Brandishing with distinction
the immeasurable pain
that now stamps my life
claiming the innocent

How on earth did I come to this?
Where hearth no longer flames
a golden warmth of dreams
that would carry me through winter

Yet, the sting of ice pellets
whips at my very being
the core of who I once was,
and who I dreamed I would be

Yet, the howling of distant
wolves, leaves an eerie
echo in the chambers of my heart
reminding me that dreams die

How is it, a woman sees love
through the stained glass of truths
that shatters in a chaotic frenzy
by a winter blizzard's mighty fist

In the middle of a frozen tundra
where all dreams are caked
with the harshest of ice drops
that flash freezes all good sense

There is no springtime that might
push to bring forth spring flowers
that would lap up the golden sun's rays
and be gently brushed by the promise
of a gentle summer's breeze

When what is left inside my heart
is the shards of stained glass
that cuts deeper at each thought
of those perilously lost moments
within frozen crystals of a blizzard
that rakes my soul
