February

February blusters in with icy winds

that bite and chill us to the bone

Spiteful in its intensity

ferocious with its strength

and ability to

sting us with its savagery

and persistence.

The cold wind has no prejudice

or favouritism;

it chills one and all

big or small

saving no-one from its

ice cold heart.

The ill wind brings no peace

no comfort

strips bare our defences

strangles us with icy fingers

until we can bare no more

and seek warmth

in shelter.
