Something Else Again

If in mid - winter
you decide
       to change your path
  then perhaps you will
come to
             the realization
    that the morning sun
           brings it's own answers
       Play the game if you will
but always remember 
                     that you are formed 
        of the earth's elements
   Resistance can only go so far
  Yet if you persist 
       I believe light will come to you
You plan to leave behind this dying
              civilization 
      escape to another land
                What motivates you?
      Love or something less sweet?
            Nature has elemental strength
         Look inside yourself
    decide which path to take
          Choose light instead of darkness!
                Icy pools reflect the dying 
      sun
           You reflect the dying sun
    Will the clouds vanish?
         Better to be inside near 
a warm fire
     Then left out to freeze 
in the cold!
     Spring will return
         despite the impermenance 
             of life and love
    Dancers on thin ice
   We move in rhyme
           expressing our innermost thoughts 
    While a veil of white flakes 
               alights on our window
