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
