The Thaw
River flow
Takes me back
Deeper and deeper
Fresh coat of snow, broken sheet of ice
We move further & further apart
Longest time waiting for the light
The thaw...
Shortest time drifting
A sudden night
It’s early evening and I’m…
----
Watching it fall, each flake
I watch it fall, should we walk away…
Snow fall,
The words I can’t say
You hold me close
& I melt away
----
I think I know
You take me back
Deeper and deeper
This was a home
It’s growing’ dark
We move further and further apart
Longest time waiting for the light
The thaw...
Shortest time drifting
A sudden night
It’s early evening and I’m…
----
Watching it fall, each flake
I watch it fall, should we walk away…
Snow fall,
The words I can’t say
You hold me close
& I melt away
----
Flakes of snow fall on my nose
I mistook you for my love
Ghostly as your figure glows
Watch me as I turn and run…

Watching it, watching it fall…
