What can I do?  This world is so unfamiliar to me.

Rest in peace, dreams of mine

Forbidding entrance to the future 

I stand in candlelight looking out the frozen window

And see a tense picture of hope colliding with grief

This world is not ours anymore

You know what sealed this realization?

I saw a friend in front of his house

Waving at traffic

As if the rushing cars could save him

Look out that window with me

Let’s allow the joint experience

To maybe paint the way to a better future

Or at least paint a picture that we can hang on

The walls of our offices

While we work to make it through another day
