A hard frost glistens

Melting in the morning sun

Like all my resolves

Water levels rise

My island growing smaller

I can’t stop these tears

What words can I say?

Every time I get it wrong

If you could read minds…

Cut loose and drifting

The tide keeps pulling us on

Inexorable

Still standing alone

Shadows in a crowded room

Full of empty eyes

If I, by mistake

Transformed into a robot

It would be my last

Into driving rain

Into a blacker darkness

Into the deep sea

To be a machine

And do just what I am told

A dream, a nightmare

And through all this change

Though things rot or fade away

Something will abide

I’m still holding on

Holding fast and holding strong

I can’t bear this weight

I have been looking

Underneath the sinking sea

Looking out for you

Everywhere I go

It all reminds me of you

Everything I do

Under winter stacks

Amid yellow bramble leaves

Building a new nest

The tree’s thin old limbs

Cold and bare of summer’s crown

Carry me away

Come and take my hand
Through lies we will understand
That we’re growing wild

From http://music.scruffian.com/album/growing-wild

The same silver moon

Watches over all of us

Wherever we are

That cloudless warm night

Will stay with me forever

We cannot go back

Ice crystal gardens

Frost bitten under clear skies

Are all that grows here

Orange winter sun

Casting the longest shadows 

On the shortest day

Sleepy little days

Fireside blankets and tea

Hibernation time

A broken bottle

Our lives are dripping away

A day at a time

Tangled up wires

Winding and chocking themselves

In my confused brain

When I’m looking back

And remembering the past

I think I will die 

Now I’m suspended

In the middle of a lake

Walking on thin ice
