A THOUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER

A THOUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER


A cold breeze slowly lets the new dawn in
im somwhat lost for words
overwelmed with the feeling of what today will bring
i feel a faint smile arise for today
today i know with all my being will surrender
surrender to my sadness
and bring the warmth in the middle of winter
bring the sunrise not sunset in the middle of all this madness

lost in thought perhaps lost in words
but alive with the breeze my flowers growing depth
my heart finding strenth
i welcome this dawn
the demons at ease
your heart carried on a wisper, your soul in lenth
i know i to my life the winter through now cannot
will not in the knowing morn
this day a cold breeze brings a new dawn

New mornings show there face but lay to rest
like the ones before
ramblings of an old man forgotton with a whisper
this time one thing im sure
this man, this morning found a breese that alowed
him to take a breth and breath
today i remember a time a place maybe even a moment
although to old for anyone to remember
in the world tonight an old man will sleep in his bed soundly
for this morning carried on a breeze a new dawn
a time, a place, a memory, a moment, maybe even an angel
with a purpose and a movement
