Frozen…

White as far as it can be concealed,
The earth below fine, nicely sealed,
It’s all around and right before you,
Hiding all things that was out of true,

I have you, and all things taken care,
I have leveled the fields fine and fair,
As you now begin to walk and slide,
Glance for all things that you denied,

Let it Go, Let it Go,
Make a new impression, as you go,
Let it Go, Let it Go,
It’s never too late to gather and grow,

Its time, you take your first stride,
Recall all the things, you cast aside,
Safe and sound and hiding inside,
Leave them here and look outside.

Make a fresh set of marks, walk now,
Treat life and struggle like the snow,
Never fear to hold hands when in need,
You are never alone, feel then freed,

Let it Go, Let it Go,
Leave the self behind, and so you go,
Let it Go, Let it Go,
It’s never too bad to melt yet glow,

The field is open, the scene is set,
Fresh new living, all you can whet,
As you walk and drive through this,
Make it real good, but do reminisce,

One more chance, one more change,
At the jolt, you will feel a lil’ strange,
Who cared anyway, what you were,
Go live your life, let criticisms deter

Let it Go, Let it Go,
The pride and sins like a gliding floe,
Let it Go, Let it Go,

There’s more to offer, than you know…

.. a walk in downtown

As good as it was once,
Walking the lines and streets so dark,
Smoky as it was, people waiting and talking
With Men staring and women so inviting,

The nights so young, and yes they were,
Too many people talking, yet you can hear,
And paid a dollar, for every glass of beer,
Kept walking until it wasn’t really anywhere,

Sirens, smokers, hookah, walkers, stalkers,
The flashing lights, the troubling dark lanes,
Someone smiling and offering you a drink,
Drunk and broken, breakups and curses,

As you walked past every feeling that night,
Bars, churches, restaurants, vendors, drugs,
Love, passion, loners, liars, thugs and hugs,
It will seem only clear, on one dark night,

And realize that it wasn’t just another night,
It was your life that you were walking past,
An aimless journey isn’t really a waste,
As you walk, where your legs lead you,

You can choose to stop, where you want,
And then walk in, and blow all that you have
In a minute, and sit there with empty pockets,
Five minutes worth of dancing in the dark,

And then there is not one, no one but you,
You walk down the aisle, past the poles,
No one looks at you….
Fresh air again, but again nowhere to go,
Few crumpled dollars in your jeans,
And then you see a distant light

You stop by the one small bar, out there,
That flashes $3 for $4 for shots and beer,
You walk in, and still see those familiar faces,
Smiling, wailing, walking, talking, stalking,

.. you are there, finally for just one more beer.

As good as it was once,
As good as it can get, everything’s different.

….. it just got better ;)
