Part 1
Wind blew on your shoulders.
Your hair
Swept across your face
Shielding you
From the chilly breeze
Your jacket
Snug across your torso
Shielding you
From the biting cold
The temperature rises.
But who can deny
The prevailing
cold?
Part 2
Like a monument in snow
There you stand
At the pinnacle of the hill
Admired, adored
A mark for the community
A shelter of hope
There you stand
With much significance.
But it's still cold.
Ice cold.
Part 3
Snow, why won't you stop?
Walls, why won't you break?
Gaps, why aren't you bridged?
Even when you stand tall
Does anyone know
That you're freezing?
Won't you let go
And let in a little warmth
To grow?
Melt!
Spark
Start a fire
In this cold, dark place
Where walls
Are ten feet tall
The house has been
In lifeless ice
Even with it's magnificence
There is no glow
From within
The snow has thickened
The walls are strong
The gap has widened
A spark
Gives life and warmth
to the cold heart.
Ignite!
