She has December's eyes
all gray and cold
too cold to be exposed
to the elements of love
Finally he trudges through
the doorstep
of his Victorian home
Shuts the door to the cold outside and settles down to read his book and drink very expensive scotch all alone
May he R.I.P. the parachute cord and fall into abysis
The little boy runs for his life ducking behind a Salvador Dali tree just in time as the bigger bullys run bi
The little girl is looking out the big bay window on Christmas morn
All her presents lay open at the base of the tree
The present she longs for will never come
now that her brother has gone away
The millionaire extraodinare gave the homeless man some cash
Later that day he gave it to a bag lady and her daughter and smiled
as he walked away
The football team boarded
a plane destined to go to a bowl game and play
The ice accumulated and the plane went down
and no one walked away
He stands in the freezing rain that has started to spit out snow
He is much colder inside
as the memories have all lost their glow
He remains steady
as he is ready
Would be so easy now
to simply let go
