A Distant Sadness

Walking upon the ground singing
frozen solid crisply cracking ice reality
each step inside a crunching golden morning
Alone looking towards the rising sun 
cold wind cutting chill to the bone
clouds shade pink to grey 
Winds blowing cold breathing whispers 
whistling in chilling howls echoes deeply
Staring faraway over snow capped  mountains

Distant horizon of dreams 
love your the light of hope 
drums forever in your grace will beat
A daunting year for to come 
tears fall looking at my brother's grave 
 not knowing what the future holds
