Snowflakes blanket every stone

Ice forms solid up the Hudson

January echos fading fun

 

In the grip of the numbing chill

I seek and long for you still

Entranced in my vision

Repressed memory decision

 

Promises forgotten time

Moved by the rhythm and rhyme

Start afresh something new

What blossoms before me is you

 

Never really disappears

Facinated with my fears

Why this brings me to tears

After years and years and years

 

Shine a light in the dark

Candle glows and incense sparked

Pray for wisdom and insight

Courage fill me in the fight

 

Pure love pour forth from my soul

Purity innocence take their toll

Conflicting voices in my head

Must stay focused or end up dead.
