  another senseless week

of crowded thoughts and

frost and frozen sidewalks

  all those days

silence of snowflakes

falling magically

  but the magic fades

into the memory

  sleigh bells ringing
G          C
  laughing all the way

me off the ground
G              D
  yesterday is frozen

in the reverie
G             C
  tomorrow is melting
G
  let's raise our
D
glasses to these
C               D    G G(hold)
faintly falling ashes
