On the shortest day, and the longest night
When the winter solstice appears, anew
Let us gather round, be warm in its light
While we bid, dear autumn, a fond adieu

My footsteps, impressions, a story in rhyme
Water below me, frozen in time
Mirrored reflections, covered in snow
Over the bridge, back home I shall go
Where winter has left its mark on my soul
Dusted, with memories, from my evening stroll

In his shattered state, he couldn’t decompress
Someone tried to kill him which added more distress
Air came, in shorter spurts, a gasp, here and there
Shards of glass, sliced his skin, he was in despair
When he found his wits, he peered through the hole
Wondered how the piercing bullet, didn’t take his soul
What he saw made him jump, he tumbled to the floor
He had escaped so many times, he couldn’t anymore
The reaper had come calling, waited for him to depart
Not letting him get away again, death took his evil heart
December Writing Prompt – Decompression arrived quickly after the window blew out – Day 21/31

Life could be as easy, as making a snowman in the yard
Or playing in the fallen snow, and skating on the pond
But somehow things are different, and life can be so hard
Just remember to keep living, in the now and far beyond

Dry your tears, baby girl, and reach up to the sky
God will be your guiding light, set your spirits high
Speak to Him today, let Him take away your sorrows
Then speak to Him again, and all of your tomorrows
Do not worry, baby girl, everything’s been planned
Let the sadness disappear, into God’s almighty hands
Smile, my baby girl, let no more tears be shed
Just look up to Heaven, let His light shine through, instead
