snapshot

clad in an oppressive darkness
i walk the streets thru the night
it's cold and i'm freezing over
shivering in spite of myself
every step is an effort
but i strive and struggle and carry on
there is someting i want to see

frozen in time and space
it's a moment long lost
happy and bright and warm
but i can only look at it
from across a wall of cold ice

it's gone in a flash every time
a fleeting glimpse of a firefly
the world seems darker and colder
and yet, i do it again..and again..

i walk the streets again
a labyrinth of memories
there's nowhere else i can go
this is the only mind i have...
