Our winter is right around the corner
And the thought takes me back
To when we found ourselves
Last time around
In the coldest of days.
Even in those harshest of elements
In the coldest of all the months
I couldn't feel the chill
Because between your smile and your words
They were the best of days.
And just like the unpredictable Alberta weather
The storms rolled in
I tried to stand my ground
Withstand the worst of what it could throw
Until I found the peace to know the storm was me.
The summer months were devastating
The air was dry
The sun was unrelenting
It was a record year
But the chill in the empty hole was all I knew.
The leaves have been falling awhile
The mind wanders when unchecked
Smelling the weather changing
Has the heart reeling
For another one of those great snowy intervals.
