See the birds singing in the bitter frost

Death is silent but comes so openly

The Reaper reaps while life weeps at the cost

Snow falls from heaven in purest of white

Beauty mocks the living in brutal freeze

Share my fires let it warm your heart’s delight

Come to my comfort put your mind at ease

Spring is around the corner it is true

It’s the final act the curtain descends

Life marches on the parade will miss you

In glory it’s where the story now ends

At dawn the sun rises shining on the snow

Love is the only lesson we need to know

To purchase Sunset Sonnets
