Alone in the Snow

Slowly swirling snowflakes descending down
They fall and caress the frozen ground,
I watch and smile a simple smile,
Alone in the snow
With nowhere to go;

Without a car, house or home
I am completely alone,
Cold grabbing at my ragged clothes,
Alone in the snow
With nowhere to go;

Friends and family all gone
My strength and warmth won’t last long,
I smile at the frozen forest,
Alone in the snow
With nowhere to go;

I collapse onto the pure white earth
My soul filled with laughter and mirth,
I close my eyes for the last time,
Alone in the snow
With somewhere to go.
