A moment frozen
Covered in icicle tears,
Will soon melt away

Lying in bed, eyes starting to close
Something bumped into me, so much for the doze
Yet nobody’s here, in this dark little space
Just shadows in corners, I’m still, just in case
I’m really not in here, alone, by myself
Nothing is moving, but the clock on the shelf
I figure it’s my imagination, gone wild, once again
So I close my eyes slowly, and exhale from within
Wait, something’s not right, as the fan starts to whir
Looking around, I can see someone stir
Blowing about on the wisp of a breeze
Moving in circles, gyrating, I freeze
I open my mouth, and scream, quite out loud
Discerning, this vision, of the unearthly crowd

Sleep to forget
All that is, to remember
Lose yourself in a world
Of clouds and sunshine
Of stars and moon glow
Of faraway and here
Sleep
It escapes you
And finds you
At ill-chosen times
Sleep to remember
All that is, to forget

Will they see their shadow
Or will the sun remain at bay
Will there be an early spring
Or will the groundhogs run away?
Punxsutawney’s waiting
Staten Island’s waiting, too
Phil and Chuck are scheming
About what they should do
For if they see their shadows
They’ll run back into their burrow
Six more weeks of winter comes
Thanks to these furry fellows
But wait! It doesn’t matter
If their shadows show or not
It’s six more weeks of winter
No matter how you stir the pot
We could have an early spring
That would be quite nice
But if the cold continues
We’ll be frozen, just like ice
Let’s hope the sun stays hidden
So they come out to play
And we can clap and cheer like fools
On this second February day
