Through the winter wood so bare

Barely touched by the cold moonlight,

She wanders in a stumbling pace

Her eyes staring---empty sad.

 

The worn coat does nothing for warmth,

Her blood seems as cold as a mountain stream

For how can love warm someone,

When love has only ever been a dream?

 

Where she is going barely matters now,

She has no home awaiting her return.

The father who should have sheltered her

Is the one who turned her out to the cold.

 

Her hair has long since ceased to shine

Her soul through her eyes no longer gleams.

For how can love light a life,

When love has only ever been a dream?

 

Reflecting back she still doesn’t know

What could have made her father hate her so.

Is it her lake blue eyes he hates—

The eyes so very like her lost mother’s?

 

Her pace has slowed—now stopped

There is no more hope on which to lean.

No one can survive past a first mountain snow

When home and love have been made a dream?

This was inspired by :iconackeibler: 's lovely picture "First Snow" Which (if it works) can be found here: fav.me/d6hm2fs purhaps it is a little more sad that i meant for it to be, but... oh well, it is what came to mind.
