A Ballad of Winter Dreams
My dreams are growing darker-
maybe it’s the weather
but my bed is growing colder
despite the extra sheets.
I dream of wars I’ve never been in
And men I’ve never seen,
dust rises all around me
in the distance drunken screams.
And the barren cold is creeping,
seeping deep into my bones
I feel the marrow freezing
will take years to thaw the frost
Where has all the color gone?
All fading grey, no black and white,
I’m tumbling down the rabbit hole;
at least three dreams a night.
*And the barren cold is creeping,
seeping deep into my bones
I feel the marrow freezing
will take years to thaw the frost
