messenger

In a cold, rainy afternoon
Heavy with the promise of rain
The ice builds up in the heart
From early in th morning
Killing all shoots of hope
Of desire and happiness 
and growth
Until you feel you will never leave
The fortress of blankets 
You have built around yourself
Because there us nothing
Worth getting out for

And then you arrive 
With dewdrops clinging 
And shining and glittering
On every little hair on your face
Appearing to be
The snow king incarnate

But actually bringing
All the warmth
To dispel any ice
