    In The Cold

     Waking up in the cold
    No one should go it alone
    An empty house is not a home
    This I've come to know, this I've come to know

    But here is where I find myself
    Here is where my turns have led
    Here is where I find myself again

    Waking up in the cold
    No one should go it alone
    An empty house is not a home
    This I've come to know, this I've come to know

    Here is where I find myself
    Alone is home as I can see
    The choices we make dictate the life we lead

    And now I'm waking up in the cold
    When no one should go it alone
    This empty house is not a home
    This I've come to know, this I've come to know

    Matt, I also notice the chanting as mentioned by Eyes- That makes me think this is a song. It sounds like a wailin' guitar, with a windy desert type background to me. Good write!

    Ahhh Matt... Another one of your mind numbing pieces in which I feel like I too am traveling back to the same alone-ness with you. You have a way transporting the reader into the world of your words. The chant-like quality of this kept me focused on the point, without any extra thoughts to lead me down other thought paths. Wonderful writing my friend! 10!

    well dont feel alone because i feel the same and you know experience has showed me that being alone inside my own empty non existant home where the demons and injustice roam is sometimes better then having what you need to make a home...

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
