We come to see
The beauty in nature
Here, for all
To see.
Just take a breath
Look around
See
All the magnificence
That nature has given
To you, to me

Snow flies
And we answer
Why? Why?
Blizzards blow fierce white
Changing darkness
Into a brilliant seeing night.
Cold with icicles
Dripping down
Covering a frigid, frozen ground.
Rivers run underneath
A covering of ice and snow
Sometimes more than a foot deep.
We live thru this
We
We do exist.

Ghosts of devils past
Reign
Their leering faces laugh
Shrieking insane
It goes on and on
It seems to last
And
Last and last.
Those devils are just ghosts
Still
They haunt my head, my heart
They make me relive thoughts
I’d rather not
Those ghosts
Those devils of the past.

Hold your hand
Lead
Guide you on your way
The path may be difficult
But you have me beside you
All the way.
See no tragedy
Feel no anger
Taking you on the wrong path
Far, far away
Know I’m here with you
I’ll never leave your side.
And tomorrow
I know
You too, will be here
Next to me
Guiding me on my way
At my side.
