It is very cold



It is very cold 

It is so cold, I can feel it in my bones
The nerve in the socket of my eyes felt motionless,
As the cold air strikes against its outer surface. 
There the cold leaving a numbness within my soul as it lingers on for days. Yes I could still feel it fighting to stay. I try to shake the feelings but it just would not leave the pockets of my cells. For hours I try to shake the feelings which hang around long after getting in from the cold. Now sitting in a warm space I can feel the cold moving around in every cell within my body. I could now feel the cold coming out of my body lingering at the tips of my fingers and toes. At this point I could hear my inner spirit speaking, why, oh why is it so cold? Before I could figure out what to say the daring spirit continue to ask why suffer so much pain from the brutal cold.  The answer I am still searching for. And so it is days like this when the spirit within says it is time to flee for refugee. Yes as the body and mind crave for the warmth and sunshine of the tropic. At this stage any tropical area with the ability to replace the cold for me is more than enough. Trust me friend the hot chocolate just did not shake it.  The coffee pot could not hold the coffee hot enough to move this cold that lingers. Not even the heat from the fire place has come up with enough flames to fan this deadly cold. And so like the flame waxing weak within the fireplace I too must get out. The bones are getting weak, and the flesh is limping. Many are talking about other old age illness but I cannot tarry so long. So like the fading of the fire in the fire-place I too must go to sleep. This feeble body need to rest. Yes there is a need for me to escape the cold of winter gliding into the tropics. Thank God summer is here.
