Snow Blind from Long Shadows by Roger Street Friedman

Snow Blind

the cold has fallen
and you are hurting
like a child again
winter’s frozen heart
has you sliding
down its darkness
again

now the ice wind blows
it’s a blizzard
and you’re all alone
and hidden in the snow
the secret garden where the
pain and panic grows and grows

and you’re beautiful
and snow blind
you’re one of a perfect kind
and though you think you may have lost your mind
in winter everything hides
spring is just around the bend
the prediction’s for a warming trend

kindness comes calling
but you can’t see it
your eyes blocked by the storm
it’s this blindness
locks in the cold
and keeps out the warmth
time is the key
to the seasons of the head
the heart and bones
thaws out each region
until the garden overflows
with flowers in every row

you’re beautiful
and snow blind
you’re one of a perfect kind
and though you think you may have lost your mind
in winter everything hides

you’re beautiful
and snow blind
you’re one of a perfect kind
and though you think you may have lost your mind
in winter everything hides
spring is just around the bend
spring is just around the bend
the prediction’s for a warming trend
