Winter is here
The dark envelops us now.
The cold creeps closer to home.
Our patience fades wildly.
We feel brittle boned.
Outside is gone.
Life has left.
The misty morning fog
We make with breath.
What are we to do
when all growth ceases?
Go inside.
I’ve got a fire in my hearth for you.
All is still alive.
But waiting.
We are the warmth.
Wear wool, where numb.
Wrap me up in swaddling clothes.
Winter is here.

Addasiad Dafydd Timothy
Cau amdanom yn gaddug.
Ias yn ‘mestyn crafangau gwe.
Pryder lle buom ddiofal.
Bregus lle buom iach.
Diflannodd addewid dydd –
Daeth gormes nos.
Caethiwed cell yng ngharchar hirlwm.
Pa obaith byw – yn bwydo ar friwsion
y pelydrau gwan, gwyn?
Swatiwch mewn.
Mae gwres ar dân aelwyd a chalon.
Toddi, c’nesu, bywiogi, llonni…
Cynnal trwy’r oriau aros.
Fama cei loches. Cwmni
yn gwrlid gwlân i’th gludo
i ‘hafan’ gaeaf dros dro.
Gaeaf a ddaeth – byw byddi eto.
