Empty

A Poem by India Fay Jones

Empty, without a sound 
I fall into the frozen ground. 
Cover me while I sleep 
Into this world I shall seep
Slowly I hold on to you
And onto you, I become anew.

Empty, without a sound,
I fall into the frozen ground. 
And with these words I hear a voice
And know within to make a choice 
My fears control my very mind
But without them I'm of different kind

Empty without a sound 
I fall into the frozen ground 
With the winter I find myself 
And in Truth I can only delve
That when time comes, to claim my own,
You'll be there to take me home.
