Outside Tonight

Wind outside tonight
in the dark brutal cold
                    	Your voice silent, gone
                    	a memory of happiness
                    	
Runs across solid lakes
white muffled fields
                    	Warm streams green fields
                    	as you rode and ran
                    	sunlight dappling your hair
through brittle forests
barren coastlines

Roars in triumph
besting warmth
carving away hope
                    	You were once here
mocking life

Snow like stone
In the dark brutal cold
