ROSE IN THE SNOW

On a Winters night in a frozen street,

crowds walk on icy ground,

neath the neon lights over trampled dreams,

a silent glance is found.

For midst the crowd sits an Angels face,

a moment froze in time,

below the snows neath the neon lights,

our eyes embrace and smile.

I moved towards from whence she glanced,

to where she still should be,

but standing there amidst the crowds,

her eyes are lost to me.

Through crowded streets I walked alone,

still searching her embrace,

with saddened eyes I searched once more,

she'd gone and left no trace.

Each snowy night on frosted streets,

I walk on icy ground,

over trampled dreams I seek that smile,

or vision I once found.

I search each city street,

I search each barren field,

I search each face each smile,

I search my dream revealed.

Each day I live the same routine,

walking snows in Winter chill,

each day I think she's lost for good,

and yet I seek her still.

In barren fields I walk alone,

brittle ice snaps under toe,

all seems lost but for one thing,

A single rose stands in the snow.
