Faces full of light

I saw pretty clothes
Hanging in the shop windows
It’s still very cold.

Laughing girls ran past
Long slender legs,gleaming hair
Faces full of light.

A circle of men
Drinking  coffee and talking
By the big windows.

The gale has gone now
Then I heard the still,small voice.
Why am I still here?

God is burning us
In his eternal furnace
We will turn to gold
