Winter

Winds whistling, winds howling

Claws scratching, something's growling

Off in the distance, away in the night

The beast of darkness masking the light

The beast with a roar so fierce it could

Shatter the moon ripping her in two

Fear trickling blood on the roses just bloomed

The boy with hatred in his heart

Has been consumed and

Little did he know that it would be over soon.

He looked back on his life that night

Scared of the terrors that awaited inside

He was lost in the depths of his mind

Wandering around for a long time.

As he looked upon the beaten bodies

The skeletons feeding on the starving

Cold shivers run down his spine

He realized now is the time

to begin his journey from the inside

The journey he had forgotten

Had brought him to a land of begotten

Far and straight on the narrow path

His will he would find at last.

He would face fear as it came

Even if he felt it all the same

The snow fell to the ground

Melting in his soul and

As he began to grow

He came closer to home

Despite being alone

His soul would remain frozen

No more.

Winds whistling, winds howling

Claws scratching, something's growling

Off in the distance, away in the night

The beast of darkness masking the light

Fear is a fabled myth with a revolving door

As we try to stay open and let our hearts soar

It creeps in dragging our hearts to the floor

Floating in purgatory forevermore.

In local news you hear kids abused and

Kids getting used and then getting confused

About being nude with an older dude

only to be blamed for being rude and

He needs to change his attitude

so he starts to use.

Schools and churches getting shot up

Corrupt politicians and celebrity gossip

But it's okay cause we're all caught up

In these same scandals that make us blind

To our own vandals within the mind.

In all of the delirious accusations and

conspiracy aspirations of endlessly divided nations

We forget the most important thing

that is love that beckons and rings

and sings within the songs of dreams

That We dream of all life long

Waiting for Serene to write our wrongs

And as the Love from a world so high

Fills us like diamonds shining in the night sky

That's when we realize that life is here for us

so there's no need to hide or fuss

No need to lie just trust

No need to die, you are enough

Know that you are here as love

Soaring through the winds

Free as a turtle dove
