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.
