Longing

To awake to the blistering cold,

A yawn that threatens to take one under,

The stark desire to get and have that thing,

The one thing that's been denied to us,

The reminder is so clear today,

That I want to grasp it with both hands,

To throw caution and just make that call,

To change my priorities and principles for that one thing,

It's hard. *sigh*

Not sure if I want to stick the course,

The cold and the longing won't easily let me.
