warmth

the snow beats down hard
on this little nowhere town
people searching for warmth
where there's none to be found
desperately seeking
to shut out the cold
they search relentlessly
even though they've been told
'the warmth that you seek
is not worth the cold that you bear
and the longer you seek
the colder the air
so go back inside
and give up your quest
you may feel bad now
but its for the best'
but they search for the warmth
even if its in vain
hoping the snow will
at least
melt into rain
i understand why
they look for it so
i walk with ease in this cold bitter snow
i am protected by a warmth held so dear
a warmth so strong
the cold cannot come near
and if i get chilly
i think of his love
the sky opens up
raining warmth from above
for in his hand
he holds the key
to his undying love
the perfect warmth for me.
