Stripped naked to the most inner core <br />as during winter <br />a leafless tree stood very near to death <br />a branch did splinter; <br />as if out of proportion drawn, printed <br />on a printer; <br />lonesome my heart was there in the weather, <br />as nothing good could bring us together.<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/winter-remembered-cavatina/
