Blizzard

Folder: 
Daddy

Looking out the window

On a snowy January night

Sitting by the warm fiery glow

But my heart is cold as ice



Wondering how long it will last

As I feel the cold from inside

It reminds me of a painful past

That I just want to hide



Seeing the bitter cold ice

Forming on the edge of everything

Knowing it has the power to slice

Into my heart’s aching pain



Everything’s completely drowned

In a white blanket of snow

Silently falling without a sound

As tears from my eyes begin to flow



I’m looking out into the world

Alone, here I am sitting

Inside watching the blizzard swirl

As my heart is being frostbitten



It stings with numbness and pain

The tears are freezing where they fall

They can’t be melted by any flame

They can’t be melted at all



Inside I sit in the corner of a warm room

Looking out the window at a cold world

Wondering if it will pass by soon

As the blizzard rages in its angry swirl ~


Author's Notes/Comments: 

The winter months trigger unrelenting emotions that portray the painful memories of my father's passing. I wrote this in January 2004. Even as a Christian, we still get depressed...thankfully, I turned back to Jesus' warm and everlasting comfort...and it thawed my heart out again!
