Snow Clouds Over a Volcano

Snowing
The wind around was blowing
Long after the shining sun would
Melt these days away

Again
The second round would begin
Pressure from the months before would
Bear heavily on me

Going
Little streams are flowing
Endless piles of snow vanished
In the blink of an eye

Quiet
Gone are all the riots
Gone is all the endless noise
From the crowd I used to know

Ending
The summer heat was rending
The endless gray clouds from the sky
To shine some light on me

Shining
No more silver linings
All that once was ensured
Is no longer that way

Sighing
Everyone is crying
Nothing's as it once was
And that terrifies us all

Alone
Look at how we've all grown
As snowflakes cast from our cloud
Into this volcano underneath
