Cold seized tightly on your skin
Sought to freeze the truth within
Breath resisted winter’s sin
Kept the flame you hold therein
Storms descended in full sweep
Buried warmth in silence deep
Pain attempted one more leap
Met your fire it could not keep
Dreams revived in steady heat
Melted frost beneath your feet
Loss that crowned your long defeat
Shifted into bright repeat
Life reclaimed your inner seat
Raised the truth no cold delete
Heart became what winters splinter—
Flame that warms the fiercest winter
