Edge of life

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 in to a deep sleep
hibernation time is here

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

right at your door step
another try to get through
thawing out ice
thawing out 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 ride,
at the edge of life
