Winter
Watching the year go by, as fast as light;
Summer, winter, spring, fall, modifying
Our way of life day by day, night by night:
Summer shows up and it’s fine, defying
Jack Frost’s longing for the days to be cold;
Sharp as the fangs of a snake as it bites;
We don’t even expect it. The wind’s bold
And relentless. We continue the fights
Against the white stuff that falls from the sky;
We battle with our shovels and our minds;
We search for defeat, we will not comply;
No way to win the fight is what he finds;
Though he continues to try day by day;
For four long months it is constantly gray.
