Winters Bloom

by Amy   Mar 19, 2004


One cold winters day
when it snowed outside
i felt so alone
so i sat there and cried

In front of the fire
crackling and warm
the atmosphere peaceful
like the eye of a storm

I watch the flames flicker
burn and dance
i sat mesmerized
hypnotized as if in a trance

Sparks flew through the air
embers so hot
i cared about nothing
my life i forgot

Faded photographs
pinned up on the wall
and still nothing stirred inside
nothing at all

And so by the fire
i drifted into sleep
dreams so vivid
kept me in deep

A weak ray of light
and morning came
i felt different
but everything was the same

I walked outside
into the cold morning air
i was surprised
at what i found there

A single red rose
through the layers of snow
had sprouted up from the earth
and had started to grow

If filled me with hope
seeing beauty still exists
in a dull, bleak world
was even this

So fragile and alone
there it grew
surrounded by darkness
and thats when i knew

I wasn't alone
there were many like me
a winters bloom
no one else can see
