Jan 2020
Time is frozen solid
Like the ground in the middle of winter
It takes effort to dig down
To break through the barrier

And more ice just piles up on top
Like the snow and icicles
Falling off of the trees in the wind
Covering the fact that we’re stuck here

Time doesn’t move in the dead of winter
It stands still until the sun rises again
And spring warmth begins enter in
Thawing the solid foundation that we walk on

And we just wait
Not realizing that we’re standing still
Hoping expectantly for spring to come
And save us from this icy prison

But what if spring never comes
Time must move forward for seasons to change
Everything will stay the same
Unless someone is brave enough step out

I am not brave enough to step forward
I can’t let go of what’s here now
I can’t forget the harsh winter
There’s too much here that holds me

So when you decide to step forward
Into new spring growth and warmth
Grab my hand, and take me with you
Don’t leave me here, frozen in place
