a walk to remember

open up thy ears and listen
to the following words.
believe me like the fact of
the south migrating birds.

walking alone from the train station
to the warmth of home
an hour and a half that's all it took
much shorter for that of a gnome.

singing praises to the One above
it brought me great joy.
but once i started talking about family
in fear, i started to recoil.

no anger burned in thy heart
for thy love was denied a thousand times
since chances is what they do not plead for
on what account should i not mime.

ignorance is bliss
blessed is the soul who cares not
better is ignorance than a crossfire
with the likelihood that you would be shot

dead.

now as i sit on the couch
as we near the month of december
of cold winter of the heart and soul
it would definitely be a walk to remember.
