The Death of Snow

By: Greg Scaffidi

My dreams melt away

Watching the degrees multiply.

My heart goes astray

While the snowmen die.

Snow turns to rain

As the days get longer.

My plans are in vain

While the sunlight grows stronger.

Nature is greedy,

Taking all my white gold,

Taking from the needy

And stealing my cold.

It comes from the sky

And floats gently down.

Little flakes pass me by,

Then melt on the ground.
