Cling to Life

Dancing on the tracks.
Dancing in the cold.
Cold wind in your face.
Cold breeze in the air.
Air of passion.
Air of delight.
Delight in the beauty.
Delight in the splendor,
Splendor of sight,
Splendor of the feel.
Feel the magic in the silence.
Feel the peaceful serene,
Serene escape,
Serene retreat.
Retreat to the quiet.
Retreat to the snow,
Snow that paints the branches,
Snow that decorates the ground,
Ground a slippery surface,
Ground a beautiful path,
Path into the past,
Path into the future.
Future lies ahead.
Future is a mystery,
Mystery you cannot fathom,
Mystery you can't unveil.
Unveil the here and now.
Unveil the time at hand.
Hand yesterday to the past.
Hand off the cloak of darkness,
Darkness that smothers,
Darkness that hinders,
Hinders you from life,
Hinders you from living,
Living in the moment,
Living for tomorrow.
Tomorrow bears no promise.
Tomorrow may not be.
Be loyal to the present.
Be faithful to today.
Today is a treasure.
Today you must enjoy,
Enjoy as you watch,
Enjoy as you listen.
Listen for the train.
Listen for its cry.
Cry that breaks the silence,
Cry that ends serenity.
