Snow comes flying down
laying waste to brown ground
swirls, banks of white
blowing on into night.
Hiding the sun, the moon
making all the landscape
a stark sight
enveloping the earth
like a giant cocoon .
It may be tomorrow
all will melt
til then enjoy the scene
and later
remember how it felt.

No one knows nor do they care
mainly
mainly just because
they weren’t there.
Cause it all to be forgotten
Left behind
pages wrote, time sodden
with the tears of those
left behind and forgotten.

Seldom do I see the likes of you
heading down the same path
as me.
We talk and laugh, pass the time of day
never once thinking what has happened
yesterday.
This moment is all we have
Never looking forward to what may come
in future days.
Then I’ll smile, you’ll laugh as we part
no longer sharing the same path
on our separate ways.

Make it my own
Make it mine
No explanations, no excuses
Survive
I have done it
The best that I can
Trying to tell no lies
It’s me, my own, my life
Yes
I am alive.

When I hear those words
That melt my heart, make my tears cry
Filling up the world’s cup of gratitude
When I hear
Hear those wondrous words
I know I’m alive.

Feeling the anger, the pain
Of not being the answer
To what drains the life
From my world, my heart, my family
All that encompasses
Contains.
Could it be tomorrow
When things change, answers answered
The world full of laughter, families together
And nothing, no feeling
That everything is circling
A filthy, dirty drain.

The world turns, it goes
Then comes back around
No breath is taken
Except on its sacred ground.
The future is hidden
The past is the past
Nothing now will forever
Last.
Turning slowly, turning fast
The world is ours
Hold on
It’ll be a blast.
