A Winter in Summer

Snow

By Jorge BurbanoPublished about 16 hours ago 1 min read

Hot, cold, 2 faces, 1 call

A big light in the white

A great storm at the sun

Delicate is the touch

Of a burned flower in the snow.

This is how a simple thought

Can turn my mind into a storm.

Great is the burn

Great is the sun

The fire is on, the fire is on

Please stop this cold

The cold in the world

Can you breathe in the smoke?

Or is the ice is too heavy?

You need a warm stove

That can keep your heart steady

A white sky is covering the world

And a red soil is wondering alone

The collision of 2 worlds

Would mean the ending of both.

No matter... no anymore

The sea and the land are done

A winter in a burnt glove

This is where we belong

Just waiting for the fall of snow.
