Glittering flakes of soft sweet perfection
Fall so gently from the heaven's above
Laying down to paint us a picture
Scene from a winter wondrously love

This snow in my hometown is causing a stir
The children do race for the first snow to ball
See earth disappear under cottons of fluff
As my boots take a crunch sound
How white is this stuff

A silence becomes as the cars fade away
To new sounds of laughter
See bob on his sleigh  
Our dog all but hidden
His tail in the air
A snow covered woof ball jumps clean
In his fear

At last in the snow our family is one
We all stay together
See neighbors have fun
Say work it can wait I'm stuck in the snow
A day by the fire
Oh boy I love snow

There are times in your life
When
You need to change the future
Need to look the past
Need to think
Of all the good inside
Forget the world thats bad

Time to take a different corner
Time to rest the soul
Beat the horror's in your head
Throw away those goals

Time is short and precious
Be it all the time
Once your past is through
This life
You'll look on back to why

So take some time this
Time
See your family
Smile
Love them all you
Can
Hug them It's a
Feeling
This time is in your
Hand's

Deep in my darkness
I feel within
The blackness creeping
a godly grin
Fire raging
Madness call
Ready for the raging roar

Yet calm is on the outside
Tranquil to the mass
Hidden from the proles
Go pass
This smile a gripping leer

If only
They could see within
If only
They would fear  
The madness set inside my head
A chill
The welcome clear

These blackened eyes
Do tell a sign
A way to stay away
Be wary of the softest grin
Inside
I have my rage

See the stars
See the sky
See the moon
In all its light

See your breath
Steaming out
See what life is
so about

Millions twinkle
Yet out of reach
Stars in heavens
God's retreat

Try to grab one
Haul it in
Stars from out there
Lights within

Shapes that twinkle
Signs of life
Beams of sunlight
In the night

What's so funny
Hear you say
Starlight's been there
Ever a day

Parents parents
Parents too
Seen them stars
Just like you

That's their secret
From above
They have seen the
All of us

Think that thought
For just one mo
Now you know now
Nature's glow

Inner me so tired of
this day
So tired of the drone
My life ..less cold
One way
The blackness in my storm

Bore another wake
My feet set to this stone
Chains of life inside me
Tie me
Life and home

See of stars I look upon
Wanting all thats there
Look up to the future
Want my in despair

Be not money where I lay
No wish upon my door
Open for another day
That look I've had before

Future arms in open
Await another breath
Lonely for another me
Lonely till I ......

The coffee tasted bitter as my
Lips parted to heal
Thought's of a time ago
Looking at me  
Sweet memories
My elders  
Flashbacks all grief

Walks of my long ago
Smiles from afar
Things that I said
In haste
Paths that I crossed

All in a day when I blinded
To see
Gone all the people
Past in my peace  
  
Now all I have are these looks
In my mind
Photo's all hidden
Where's gone all this time

Sadness falling from stained
Wet eyes
Taste of the coffee
Bitter
That's fine

This misty grey day
Looked back at me
and smiled at the sight
See my reddened brown eyes

Joy in my head
As my neck suffered another
crashed out night
On my pillow made of lead

Toss to the turn as the sleep monster says
"no sleep for you boy awaken the dead"
Awaken the dead ? I thought
As my head lolled around
Thoughts of another night
Lost to no sound

Aches to my bones as I shudder the sleep
Fall at my side
Fall as a heap
Sleep please forgive me as I bid you farewell
Another day started
My living
My hell
