I lay on cold pavements
Darkness surrounding me
The warmth of summer has left long ago and snow is falling all around
Why do I just lay here
Ever still
Lifeless
Oh but for silence my heart beckons
The chill becomes me
I am at one with this moment that makes no sense
Why would I just lay in freezing animated darkness
Why choose something so chilling
And yet
Do we not all choose situations that hold us hostage to a moment
Chains and crosses to bare and break
We can leave this place
But where are we going
Where are we going
Are we going
Or shall we stay
On cold pavements
Snow falling
Dreaming
Dreaming of a life less bare .
