Winter from Winter by Miscellaneous Plumbing Fixtures

The sky a grey watercolour
The ground hardens fast
None of the leaves on the trees will last
The breeze from the north bites at the tips of your fingers
Deep into your bones where it invariably lingers
But there’s fire and love
Sweaters and scarves
And all of the warmth
That these things preserve

There’s holidays and decorations
To fill us with cheer
And songs and stories that we roll out each year
There’s families gathering and you connect with old friends
we know the new year will start when this one eventually ends
Light the fire show the love
Use up your reserves
And share all of this warmth
We so richly deserve

And if you think you can’t find the spirit inside of you
Know that we’re here to help and we hope that you try
It may seem corny and cool to reject it
But the more you give in the more it helps you get by
And your soul can fly

There’s food and there’s feasting
Surrounded by laughter and singing
Lights hang on the houses and new traditions beginning
There’s hot chocolate hugs
And mistletoe kisses
Photo albums filled with sweet past reminisces
Reach out to the ones who have less and are on their last nerve
Give what you can
Be all the promise you serve
