In the Snow

Oftentimes this is what i do when everything gets to be too much...it's not always snowy though

The snow swirls gently around him

and his mind races and his chest heaves

from his run.

His eyes tear up,

his heart is broken,

he has nothing left.....

he looks to the sky,

and slowly closes his eyes.

His music seems to speak to him

as he begins to nod his head,

telling him that he's not crazy,

and he's not better of dead,

his arms slowly lift along with his

sense of dread.

He feels the music inside of him,

it moves his heart

and fuels his limbs.

A foot slides,

an arm follows,

his rage empties out

of his body with each

and every movement,

leaving him hollow.

Tears streak down his face as

he dances in the snow,

too tired to care

if his emotions show,

when a break in the music hits

he takes it slow,

only to bang his head

when it speeds up

and again let himself go.

An elation fills him,

replacing his all of his hurt and woe,

he uses the music to

beat depression,

his bitter foe.
