Deceptive Sun
The sun shines brightly;
Bathes the day in golden light;
Winter wind still blows;
Bathes the day in golden light;
Winter wind still blows;
Bitter air seeps through;
Drafty old windows and doors;
Chills me to the bone;
I stay safe indoors;
The sun cannot deceive me;
I sip on hot tea;
In here it feels warm;
Yet my hands and feet are cold;
Ice forms on the panes;
A cough that won't leave;
Keeps me from going outside;
Errands don't get done;
I wrap myself up;
It is only eight degrees;
And I write instead;
When I fall asleep;
Escaping the bitter cold;
I will dream of spring.
