The Resolve of Winter

The harshness of winter is carried lightly on a breeze
Bending blackened branches to wave goodbye to its leaves.
Cold are the nights as the sun disappears from the day
And eerie is the silence when the stars come out to play.

Without pity is that winter showering misery and pain in its wake.
Watching on and smiling at the hearts and backs it does break.
But compassion comes with Christmas, but does it last beyond a day,
Or is it just like winter’s sympathy; with no resolve to really stay?

A second ticked by and not a lot had occurred,
The minute hand moved, and a voice was heard.

It spoke softly of love with pity and grace,
It promised to change this earth into a far different place.

But soon the hour passed and faith was held back.
Disbelief had entered and begun its attack.

Time travelled on and soon envy controlled all,
Until the closing of a day, and a tear it did fall.

It flows today as a sacrifice for sin,
Offering a way out; of the hell we are in.

At Christmas, that tear flows for all to embrace
Not just Christians, but the whole human race.
