Winter Moon

by gansach

Winter moon, you are clothed
 
in a gauzy veil,
 
a misty halo around face pale.
 
 
Frosty breath that you blow
 
in a hazy cloud
 
settles on your head like Death's cold shroud. 
 
 
Shining down on a world
 
locked in cold embrace,
 
distant indiff'rence on your wan face.
 
 
Dwindling down to ice chip,
 
edges starkly drawn,
 
so sharp that one might be cut upon.
 
 
Mercy gone from your eye
 
and no pity born,
 
leaving all 'neath your gaze lost, forlorn.
 
 
Winter moon, I dislike
 
when you're in this guise;
 
snow in your soul and ice in your eyes.
