A Midwinter night's dream

Sometimes, life seems like not what you bargained for,

Sometimes life is just a long horrid road,

Sometimes the road cannot be seen in the winter fog,

Because the mind is sleeping like a log.

The summer came and the summer left,
And now the winter is here again.
Cold winds blowing my mind hither,
Descending snow throwing me thither.

But there is a midnight train on an icy track.

The midnight train waits to take me anywhere I want to,

But sometimes I just don’t know where to go.

Because sometimes the mind is just a snare of delusion.

Sometimes life wants me to forgive and forget,

Sometimes it takes away a friend.

Many faces have boarded the midnight train,

But not one parting face was a friend.

Sometimes our mind tricks us with grand delusion,

So we wonder when the foggy road will end.

And when the day’s work is over,

We fade like a softly setting sun.

Sometimes life is just the loner.

Waiting alone in the freezing mid-winter wind,

Waiting to find a friend,        

With a ticket for the midnight train.
