Winter's Sudden Splendor

from SENTIMENTAL EDUCATION by Advrb

/

lyrics

winter is wading in
spreading out, up and around the house
the way high tides
calmly crash, up and around sea shores
i have not seen snow
of this storybook quality
since i was six, with freezing fingers
and i remember holding my hands
palms up high to the azure sky
to catch the visible warmth of the sun
floating down to thaw all the frosty noses,
fingers and toes
tonight there is a specific peacefullness
with the scent of celery and butter
drifting in from the kitchen
i wish for all to be safe this way
the slow motion migration &
the fast flickering flame
assure me that everything is & will be okay
this tea that comforts me
was compiled creatively
this cardigan that clothes me
was cabled with care
this song that compliments my mood
was sung three decades ago
on a day of similarly settling snow
