This is actually a poem based on a song written for my band
Snow... The lyrics to the actual song (not these lyrics) are not particularly poetic and the story isn't conveyed in them, although it is in the music, so I wrote this extra piece because I felt touched by the themes of the event... and because I was bored and in no mood to scribe something totally original. It's corny, and I don't think it's too good. The things in it that you don't like, I don't like either, but I'm sharing it anyway.
Escape, Retreat, Relief: It's all the same to him.
Ratteling with the pound of the wind, plodding along clumsily to a song in his heart.
Lonesome, Purgatory, Relief: It's all the same to him.
Honesty a promise to his own innoscence, his shadow reflects no dark corner of his own.
Shadows stained with the sins of others don't touch him.
Breakfast, Lunch, Tea: It's all the same to him.
Fish.
As he sits by the stream.
Rod rises, roars and releases line.
Weight and bait falls, floats far.
Flinches from fixed state and thunder rumbles as fish is whipped wickedly from water.
But he smiles for his victory, vicious as it seems, verrifying instinctive innoscence.
Light air burdens the surface, scarring the stream and turning the grass in the meadows.
Home suddenly seems so strange, distant and falling, futher the idea that he'll see front door again.
Fear is satisfied in him as the sight of the sky strikes sudden flashes of the past, as sudden strikes of lightening fry trees not so distant and the past flashes faster, further, unfading snd unfailingly within his fear satisfying mind.
Black builds, bouldering clouds billowing bustles of bleached ice, bombardment baring power from the horrison to here, and hurtfully, quickly, hurrying further from storms face.
Lonesome man loses hope of retriet, escape and relief.
Eye to eye with the final storm, lonesome has a new less innoscent meaning. Rattles crack and snap as wind traps man flat between air and earth.
Heart song drowns deep and dorsile in defeaning dark drums which echo from the cosmos.
Trys to stand totally stable turning sadly to stare toward snow tearing straight through sight.
Eyes pressed back.
This is that day it finally came
today maybe
any other day is as good as.
He welcomes foreign rage where rage will rampantly ware on until death replaces fear and rot flesh.
Fight lifes end with sorrow crushing chapters, beginning a new, worse for he is dying alone.
Leaving alone.
Lost a long affirmating life after living a loving existence.
The crushing forces of the blizzard leave bones frozen in flesh and blood,bodies in moving gestures.
But gestures weren't enough.
Surprised faces covered in frost, frozen in time.
Ashamed expressions immortalised by poisened ice and acid snow.
Here are the lyrics to the actual song, which should be recorded in the following month
...
Bare and alone he looks to the sky.
Hope fades in the calm and brings our demise.
The flow of the stream is covered in scars.
White falls in the distance with thunder a far.
Gentle being
Hunts by the stream
no heartbeat but his own
for miles it seems.
But in the distance
black clouds form
A violent agenda
Once the seam is torn
It's cold again the tide is low... Poisened ice and acid snow
Living in winter is all he knows... The force of the blizzard.
Bare and alone he looks to the sky.
Hope fades with the calm and brings our demise.
Life ends sorrow
begins a new
chapter worse for
he is
dying alone
leaving alone
fight the crushing
forces of the blizzard
