Winters grip

The air hangs heavy, crisp, and deep,

While sleepy nature lies asleep.

A chilly breath the north wind sighs,

Reflected in the leaden skies.

Upon the pane, a filigree,

The crystal workings I can see.

Where water touched the sudden cold,

A glassy sheen, a story told.

The pond now wears a coat of ice.

It waits for night’s supreme decree,

When temperatures fall utterly.

The very ground begins to stiffen,

A sudden shudder, quick and often.

The river’s flow will slow and freeze.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.
