Winter: Will

 I felt the warmth recede like a scroll

Rolled up and sealed, left me dark and hollow

I felt the cold, it burned like a furnace,

Frostbite consumes, ensues, I am banished

I felt my heart sunder and harden

As I walked out of the garden

I was loved more than anything, but I kissed the dust

I was crowned over everything, but I kissed the dust

I had all I would ever need, but I kissed the dust

I listened to the lie, and I live and let die.

I felt my soul pulled in every direction

What once was whole has chosen defection

I felt the chaos, and came with her the hail

Hail, hail creation; long live your volition,

Will we go on like we deserve a pardon

As we walk out of the garden

I was loved more than anything, but I kissed the dust

I was crowned over everything, but I kissed the dust

I had all I would ever need, but I kissed the dust

I listened to the lie, and I live and let die.

I was living in a paradise, but now I fight

A war against my own name and I’m fighting all alone

Gained, I have, the world; lost, have I, everything else

I’d give it all up if it all began, like a faithful friend, to feel like home again

For I am begotten, not forgotten

I know I’ve changed, but I still look like you. 

Lay down, sleepyhead

Rest your bones in that flower bed

I’ll wake you when it’s time

We’ll walk in the warmth of an endless light
