Contrast From Two Worlds pt.1

Read this with a contrast from two worlds pt.2

You shiver while a breeze sweeps in,

the fire is barely putting out, and the cold is fighting to win

"HA! If i'd be doing any better it'd be a sin"

for it'd be too much to have a fire warm enough to keep from freezing my skin.

The snow drifts specks out from under the crystal moonlight and through the night's pitch black

smothering you, gripping its icy hands around your throat until it lacks

enough heat to sustain you, and to cover all your tracks,

oh how you wish you could leave this icy hell and to go back

to a place of warm memories and people to love

to horse around with the guys and to give a good shove

off the cliff, and to fly into the sparkling water from above

like that of the strong, soaring, peaceful dove

When morning came there was a pile of black slush from your fire,

you sit slumped against a tree for now you tire

from the long night which had your life hanging by a thin tiny wire

Your situation is bad, its cold, and what you need most is a warm blazing pyre.

The sun is concealed by dark ominous clouds,

silence is all you hear, you can't even hear the slightest sounds

for the snow is raging and holds no bounds

to keep from burying you under soul piercing snow mounds.

You remember a time when you found that broken dove and your parents let you keep

that little bird for it taught you responsibility and how to leap

into adulthood and to bare pain around all those who weep

for you, who will forever be in a deep luscious sleep

Author's Note
