regeneration
ravages of winter
cold ice hoar frost
snowblind frostbitten
icicles choke veins
healed in sun time
in warmth warmer
sun soaked spring
ice heat cyclic like return
to an old past spring love
a youth familiar hearth
is oasis kindness warmth
welcomes in flame smiles
a gift warm gentle heart
will time
begin healing
recovery
tend heart body
depends upon
severity wounds
ability to trust
scar folk tales
metaphor
for healing
regeneration
human need
to hope heal
begin again
start again
wherever possible
snowblind
skin seeks sun
sunbeams prisms
shine dispersive
prism breaks
up blinkered light
into constituent
spectral colors
behold rainbows
rainbow colors
split light components
differing polarizations
universal
appeal
winter
cold injuries
snow melt
healing
possibilities
offered
by fire
warmth shelter
a warm heart
allowing healing
to regenerate
in security time
