It is the darkest season,
a season where human
has risen against his
brothers, his sisters.
Insanity tossed into a lifeless
prison cell, a padded cell?
An end of day’s scenario?
Yes, or so it seems more
so; each day.
While the snow outside
plummets from grey skies.
The homeless, wandering
aimlessly, lifeless souls encased
in an insignificant existence.
Asking
Where were you, when I needed you most?
Yet deep down they know, that in their heart,
the answer lies, and always will; until the end
of time.
A shard of hope, hands
outstretched towards
the heavens they ask.
Is it you?
This seed of rejuvenation,
buried beneath whitest
snow, for now.
