What is new is suddenly old
A flower withering
Spring crushed by a killing frost
New life destroyed

Clouds race to block the sun
Black and foreboding
Life giving warmth fades
Cold and darkness reign

Anger weaves itself into all
Despair replaces hope
Rage rises to depose kindness
No compassion remains

Winters steel grip returns
Imposing its will unabated
The smallest spark of life
Annihilated by the storm

Nothing remains
