Winter Night

I know isolation, and swelling darkness I know what it’s like to listen to that silence It speaks to me in words I both wonder and fear Somehow seeming louder and more clear I know what it’s like to feel the emptiness To try to understand its heaviness Funny how when the sum equals nothing It’s somehow heavier than everything It’s been to long wondering in this winter night It carries on long after the June bugs sing Nothing here with give me power for my flight No refuge to be spawned from this nothing There I am- forever trapped in this winter night
