TRUTH BE TOLD (for GOOD)
They told us it would rain
But as time went by
The land dried up
We‘re waiting in vain
They told us there‘s no rain
But when we looked up
Ice covered blood
They are lying for gain
They say it would rain
Maybe this time it‘s true
All hopes that will do
Wash away ICE & pain
They told us it would rain
But as time went by
The land dried up
We‘re waiting in vain
They told us there‘s no rain
But when we looked up
Ice covered blood
They are lying for gain
They say it would rain
Maybe this time it‘s true
All hopes that will do
Wash away ICE & pain

A leaf that clings through winter’s call
Shows how to rise when moments fall
Its shadow leans with gentle sway
A whispered promise of a brighter day
A brittle leaf clings to a twig, casting a sharp shadow on rough bark. A quiet moment of texture, light, and seasonal memory.

The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keeping on

Tangled up in blue"

A moony poem from the dark side of the moon, in searching for light... Fits in some way in time before Christmas.
It reads from left to right.
