When Winter Lifts
When Winter lifts some clouds with heavy rain
The ones that write ominous across the sky
That engorge themselves on heaven's grays
So much weight can not sustain this vision
Peoples eyes can only take in so much distance
Elements weigh heavy on the mind in Winter
Cold has no boundaries when snow comes down
Crowds gather at the fireplace in center city square
Warmth made from frozen logs and matches
They are the only light created in this misery
Dim as it might be
It is the only thing worth seeing
When clouds surround the city
Winter lifts some clouds in our direction
They may come but never leave
When fog sets in
