Winter

RyanPayne

The light is short and the darkness closes in

It wreaks havoc on my soul

Shades of life have slowly passed away

Leaves falling into cold

Cascading warmth in winter’s hold

Of icy grey

And I

Wanna fight the time

Of change I endure

That brings a painful extraction that’s inevitable

But can I even find

A way to remind

Me that a season can only last a limited time

The time is here and but I struggle to let go

In spite of later gain

Without a death it cannot be reborn

But still I cling to safe

The numbing chill of life on hold

Awaits the spring

And I

Wanna fight the time

Of change I endure to bring a painful extraction

That’s inevitable

And now the time has come

I wanna run from

The very season of death

I must come through to rebirth
