Observing this world in its current hibernating state. It's peaceful and serene and doesn't fret... neither should I.
World, I envy you so,
Sleeping 'neath January snow,
Resting, breathing, as cold winds blow.
I recall the days you were awake...
When you were vibrant green,
Birds and flowers, grass and trees.
Then you grew sleepy, took your ease,
While I stand here and shake.
Now you can lie there, quiet,
While in my mind there is a riot.
The uproar, I must defy it!
Calm my thoughts as they quake.
Pray for turmoil to cease, flee,
Let what will... come to be.
Close my eyes and count to three.
You set a path that I should take.
