#WinterIsComing

#Winter is coming

There be no knights

There are no steeds

There are but slights and dark,

The night, darker still

These curses, mishaps, misdeeds.

There be but, these the nights

Of winter, cold and ice

When breaths linger and

Shadows hover, alight

Shifting, swirling, a beam once alight.

Winter is coming, my heart

Winter! It shall soon be upon us, my night

Winter, the cool, dark, bright;

No knights, just night, just winter, this

My passage of rite.
