when we feel the heat it’s a negative; but we don’t live on the streets
there are those mornings in amongst the holidays where we need quiet
the image we’re shown is meant to tell a story but seldom the truth
we tend to forget just how fortunate we are to have a safe place
it’s the season of contrasts; if we look behind the decorations
we seem to forget that just below the surface we are who we were
there are traditions that have become memories that we re-enact
a shadow is cast whenever a barrier is the solution
it is surprising that we don’t wake up each day to more surprises
if we don’t worry who our actions will affect life is quite easy
