Tick tock, tick tock
another new year passes
by on the clock
bigger spaces
lower places
watching shadows
dance on the wall
sanctuary
in my head
waking
on my flower bed
forest is alive
all forms of life
only fear
breeds strife
weakness
messages materialize
a single leaf still grasps
holding its past
through winter storm
I can't seem to get warm
always cold
and
weekends much colder
I like Mondays
a new week
a fresh start
this year will be beautiful
I feel it in my heart
I hear that dog bark
echo's of the past
or
beckoning of a new start
perspective
sounds in the distance
the glow in the sky
I see them with minds eye
I don't want to go back
to sleep
I feel voices screaming
you said to me once
that I was brave
now being courageous
is all I crave
to be
sunny and clear
don't you know
your light is all I see
shining through you
I see me
and I remember
who I am
