Quiet~

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.
