Apples and Oranges

Often I find myself using the "Apples and Oranges" quote in explaining the differences in things. The idea is that you can't campare the two.
 
But why the hell not? Both are round. They are edible fruit. They both grow on trees. And, when necessary, they make great things to throw at argumentative people.

The Heart During Winter

In Winter, the heart holds reflection,
Knowing the solitude of self-determination.
It looks for echoes and significance,
In the exchange of a familiar hand.

Yet, wintertime draws one inward.
Beckoning firelight warms a hope within.
The winter heart lies snug inside,
Revisiting a day’s sunny ski slope.

Now is the time to discover meaning.
Defying control. Fostering consciousness.
Lifting viewpoints. Raising awareness.
Assessing plans for the future.

The heart in winter longs for rebirth,
To peer through the dark for a reason,
To ask and question. The Why.
To seek out a coming season's identity.
