Cold
Tapestry of colours
Sea blue
Rich in stillness
Like the heart of a corpse
Cold in love
Like a
Rose
Covered in morning
Dew
Like the wind
Singing
Like Sirens
Dragging me deeper and deeper
Into the abyss
The Blue
The Green
For I’ll never forget you

The piece 'Cold' embodies the power that nature and the weather has over humans. By being able to infuence how someone spends their day or week, nature excerises its power over us. The poem also explores the themes of loss, through a powerful metaphor describing stillness and emptiness.
