\nIt is the darkest season,
\na season where human
\nhas risen against his
\nbrothers, his sisters.
\n
\nInsanity tossed into a lifeless
\nprison cell, a padded cell?
\n
\nAn end of day’s scenario?
\nYes, or so it seems more
\nso; each day.
\n
\nWhile the snow outside
\nplummets from grey skies.
\n
\nThe homeless, wandering
\naimlessly, lifeless souls encased
\nin an insignificant existence.
\n
\nAsking
\n
\nWhere were you, when I needed you most?<\/em>
\n
\nYet deep down they know, that in their heart,
\nthe answer lies, and always will; until the end
\nof time.
\n
\nA shard of hope, hands
\n
\noutstretched towards
\nthe heavens they ask.
\n
\nIs it you?<\/em>
\n
\nThis seed of rejuvenation,
\n
\nburied beneath whitest
\nsnow, for now.
