the human toll


a winter storm of cold has come
the soul of frigidity nips at our toes,
gray covers skies fill our days
leaving frost and chills the nights

ere to dissipate the damage
of this cold of hate and deep etched scar,
leaving behind a pain filled heart,
with tears of a battered, tattered soul
of self imposed human toll

but life amends and shall once again
revolve around to face the sun’s warmth
whilst the nascence of a new morn
shall reawaken with life's song
and will redress of spring
correcting what's gone wrong

  2. Such hate now...especially here...and without our voices raised in hope and love we would be lost...thank you for such a lovely song! We need to hear it and raise our voices to it....

  3. We need those night to cleanse us... we seem have been on the same thought here... there is hope in waking up a newborn day.
