Winter
Why do you never stay?
You only linger
Like the dust of charcoal on paper
Before it’s wiped away
Why are you so merciless?
Your storms plow through my city
Leaving lasting impressions
Like dark streaks of charcoal
Black as the darkest of nights
When can I see you again?
The seasons will change
Yet I stay the same
Awaiting
Like ink drying on the surface
Always there
Always there
