You threw bitter cold
Words
At my trembling heart
My mind was too frozen
To reply

When the Son comes out
Bitter cold will go away
And a rose will bloom

I will be caught
  in the end
  and chastised
  if I write
  to be recognised
  for in that guise
  a victim I will fall
  to silly pride

a  simple stringer
of words and thoughts
through the tumble
of life
a scribbler
a dabbler
a story-teller
on the insignificant side

let the real bards sing
I'll listen in deference
in humility abide

for a small voice
am I
that truth
I shouldn't deny

Niceties doesn't work in life.

To reach your goal, you have to muscle your way through life.
