Somewhat

You never felt the sun
the merry-go-round always spinning blue
songs are sung without harmony
summers always run cool 
I gently hold that ice violin
in the shallow end of the pool, 
somewhat.

You never tasted a snowflake
the swing forever swings empty
parades always march silent
I fly in the maelstrom 
of the grayest confetti
somewhat.

Your footprints will never pitter-patter
on the tranquil shores of life 
so, my steps burn heavy
I walk the shores alone
the candle void of any light  
somewhat.
