Come In From the Cold

I feel like I’m in the wilderness, deep in the woods. I would try to find my way back if only I could. The lines on my face are growing quite bold. A voice inside says, come in from the cold. It took many years to get to where I am now. I know if I can I shall make it somehow. I listen and hear all the stories I’m told. A voice inside tells me. come in from the cold. I look and see this puzzle that’s in so many pieces. With each step I take a new piece releases. I try to buy back the soul that I once sold. A voice inside sighs, come in from the cold. I try to find answers yet see there are none. Today I shine brightly as I stand in the sun. I put down some cards in the hand that I hold. A voice inside cries, come in from the cold. I just close my eyes and slip off to a dream I look for salvation but what does this mean? Another year passes yet another year old, A voice inside says, come in from the cold.
