So Cold it Hurts

by Robert Tyler Phillips

How bright and sunny the day and yet so cold.

How warm the fire but still so cold.

The heater is running the fire is burning.

The house house has power but the air is so cold.

The geese all out flying, droppings strewn about

all on the ground as hard as stone it is so cold.

In the shower with all the steaming water

running low now clean I get out it is so cold.

Must embrace the weather in order to move on

because you heart is still so cold.
