Let me hold you tight
Protect you through
The darkest night
Let no harm come to you
As I watch for wrong to come sneaking in
On that darkest night
I will put myself in front of you
Protect and sacrifice my life
So that you may live thru this darkest
Darkest night.

The world is round
and
comes full round
what is bad
turns to goodness
that
does abound.
Feel the change
the transition
to
beauty, grace
hidden in
sadness, destitute
Maybe tomorrow
you will
see
all this unfold
as
the world turns
round you, round me.

I have walked
I have seen
The most beautiful
Beauty
I could imagine
Ever seen
No hidden flaws
No nasty seams
Just exquisite beauty
This world
Me
Have ever seen.

The heart is torn
The soul cries
Tears rain down
From
Sadden eyes.
No more is known
None do care
All alone
Filled with despair.

First snowfall brings
Brightness and clarity to my life
Looking at things covered in white
Sleeping now
Thru the winter night.
To awaken
All new, fresh and bright
Once spring’s breezes melt
This
Winter’s white.
For now I see oh so clearly
What the universe wants me to know
I’m part of all life,
All seasons
Spring, summer, fall
and
Especially winter’s white snowfall.

As I sit here thinking
Of what is to be
And been
My mind wanders to things
That have passed, have been.
There are no memories
As strong as those
That I’ve lived
Been part of
Those that have been.
Future dreams that I’ll be living
Won’t be nothing
Won’t be memories til
They’ve passed thru my living
Going into what has been.

The sun shines bright
glistening on fallen snow
in
the early morning light.
Troubles seem trivial
anger has not much might
for pure white snow covers all
in
the early morning light.

I sit here wishing
What is
Could not be.
Hoping life
Would be a little gentler
Take pity on me.
Trusting it
Will get better
So all can be happy.
Doesn’t matter what I wish
Cause life is
What it will be.

Having a hard time
For
I’m seeing the future
In a bleak frame of mind
Looking out onto trees
Dripping
As if crying along with me
My heart is broken
In
So much anguish and pain
I know
The sun will shine
Again
I know
I will laugh
Til
I cry once more
But until
That time comes
The future is sadness
All I see
A future bleak
Without you here
Near me.
