Going somewhere

somehow we're going somewhere
meeting the winter with care treating
my mind with care longing for the
sun not there

how come it's not there not shining
through my hair it's frozen me into
a deep sleep hibernation time is here

has come out of nowhere nature's,
little timebomb has gone off bringing
rain, cloudy days, stormy nights, blinding
light snow and ice

right at your doorstep, another try to get
through thawing out the ice, taking what's
mine taking what's there

it's been years, where is that smile it was
wiped out when I came back from that
long long ride at the edge of life
