Freezing

yet warm


with each passing minute
the frigid temperature makes its way through my many layers


like a shockwave




slowly





but surely
it makes its way to the bone
BUT
this is not all that I feel



SURPRISINGLY





the feeling of warmth comes over me


this warmth is not Physical




hot chocolate after a long day of play

the blaze of the fire place
surrounded by family


this is real warmth




this is irreplaceable warmth
this is the warmth of memories



so on this day
when the wind sends the snow flakes swirling into a seemingly never ending dance


I am



freezing




yet warm
