Lamp Light in a Tundra

Lamp Light in a Tundra 

orange glow above, lamps lights bright, yet the world seems so dim 
cold breeze carries by, we all are bundled under thick layers 
glass towers rise off to my sides, i must hold back something from my eye 
cars come by, glow off their heads, how can i not feel mine 
in this tundra world, i bath in the aura, under the lamp light 
knowing that my fight, is not out of sight quite yet.

Meander in the Snow

Meander in the Snow

meander down, snow inbound, path unplowed, mind enshroud.
gone are the leaves, the sun sets early over the eaves,
wind swept in cold air, and in my head the echoing memories blare.
crunch of frozen, wet foliage underfoot, snow covers all the trees past the roots,
loving the sight of my breath before my eyes, as I am crippled by those miserable cries.
dusk settles in over the folly, the world crows, uneasily in its new melancholy,
walking in past footsteps through the dimlit, retrace my pitiful mistakes that I did commit.
blinded by the night, tripping over snow bites, and there I saw a pale winter wight.
come to claim my frozen heart, I had it in my hands, with my organ I did part,
and that sprite took me out of the dark, and from there on a journey I did embark.

Night Skies

Walking home on a brisk winter night
I look to the sky and see Orion hung bright.
 
I marvel at all the stars in the sky
And planets that twinkle in the eye.
 
Waiting under the lamppost aglow
Watching my breath linger so slow.
 
The snow is thick on the ground
But I am only looking up tonight
Searching for what can be found.
