Turned to Snow


The downpour's been abated
It's all gently floating downward now
But I find I'm floating up somehow…

Mud streaks wide across the lines
The ceaseless dripping constantly erodes the brain
Seamless sky has come undone
No one sees you chasing after
Finds you running down the drain

Dreary's draped in muffling gauze
It's covered in acoustic garment muting sound
Blanching mottled rutted path
Someone sees you stifle laughter
Finds you running spritely gowned

A cooling breeze it all it takes
Then breaks the ice with softer flakes

Atmosphere goes quiet
Darker now but luminescence rises from a field of light
As the fear flows by it
Let your face burn cold and ruddy
Funny how the red makes white
Pause a little even though you've turned to go
It looks as if it's turned to snow

The downpour's been abated
It's all gently floating downward now
But I find I'm floating up somehow…
