City Lights In Winter.

City Lights In Winter.

The city lights glow over me
In the winter snow.  The night is
A calm medley of bitter cold.
In Boston, a river has gone over
The banks, causing it to freeze
In the streets, and some cars
Are stuck in the ice.  It is a quiet

Way to end the last day of your
Life, without anyone even knowing
That you are there.  Some people did,

Perhaps, but they are gone now,
And as the snow swirls downward
From the sky, the light grows dim

In your everlasting mind.
All is quiet.  The street has been
Flushed.  A life has been finished.

Over and over again, lives are finished.
