Where Life Goes

When winter arrives Icicles manifest around my heart The Earth is barren Roses wilter and decompose Absorbed within grey dirt Where oh where does life go? Does it migrate with the doves? Does it freeze up in the lakes? Is it buried within the lonely graveyard? Carried in the cold breeze With the dying leaves In the deepest darkest nights When the moon restarts its cycle And you are left invisible Where oh where does light go? Does it migrate with the sun? Or float away like raining clouds? My solemn heart grows impatient Knowing I can not go on Knowing I shall certainly freeze If winter never ends Growing jealous of God's powers Crying sleet and snow All the time ignored All the time, frozen in one place Please oh please don't leave me Mr. Sunny Sky I need you oh I need you Travel back or I shall die Like a grasshopper jumps from branches And lands with a thud In a pile of autumn leaves And silent is the wind Death, no... Death consumes me I can not find the life And as ice shatters strings Playing amongst my heart I fall down next to a flower ... I close my eyes and smile A yellow petal dismantles, and lands upon my nose Life survives in winter In the smallest of the smallest ways That's where life goes
