when the snow melts

When the summers end
winters begin
When the snows fall
and fall and fall
When dirt is covered
by layers of ice
That soon freeze the
ladybugs and dragonflies
You would walk
in search of warmth
Your satchel heavy
weighing you down
And then you will
come across
The icicle of the
wish granting cave
The secret however
is one to remember
For when the snow melts
your wishes too die
All you asked for
riches and gold
Turn into dirt
of no worth

The greying sky
dying sun
crying clouds
weeping trees

A lonely man
alone, lost
wandering
wondering
