&quot;We make up horrors to help us escape from the real ones.&quot;- Stephen King<br /> &quot;But I don&#039;t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry. I want danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.&quot;- Aldous Huxley

winter is a funeral
for the fallen and forgotten
burying the perished lands
in thick blankets
of snow
freezing the world
with its bittersweet presence
like a phantom
celebrating its grief
with lite crystal tears
and a season of mourning
