Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDD EFGHIJ KKLGLM NOPOQQ RSTUVV WNGGVX V| Life s birthday cards of changing numbers | A |
| Simmering oats and frost covered windows | B |
| From soapy soled sandals and shorts of corduroy | C |
| To hand me down jumpers in times when just a boy | C |
| Snow would dress these winter sleeping trees | D |
| Like crystallised cotton placed with delicate ease | D |
| - | |
| My thoughts are washed by faceless tears | E |
| Of fading rainbows forgotten years | F |
| Rambling aimlessly the streets of broken dreams | G |
| Beating heart s disturbed by passing times of change | H |
| As life s fragmented moments opaque the mind of a child | I |
| Creating deprivation within those innocent smiles | J |
| - | |
| Crowing cocks mechanical clocks break a deathly silence | K |
| Street lights extinguish one by one awaken a living fragrance | K |
| Charcoal frescos share my bedroom walls | L |
| With scenes of childhood dreams | G |
| The inverted smile of a sunrise calls | L |
| To open closed eyes of times obscene | M |
| - | |
| The stars are on loan to another world | N |
| While this sun s on loan to me | O |
| Melting snow from the windows fall | P |
| Converting translucent for all to see | O |
| Snow flakes like gossamer leaves fall without direction | Q |
| To a landscape of beauty bereft of all protection | Q |
| - | |
| Each branch to shed a tear | R |
| As the mid day sun climbs without fear | S |
| The mind s perplexed from a past | T |
| The memories inured from its cost | U |
| As footsteps assault this blanket of snow | V |
| Like an epitaph in motion be it friend or foe | V |
| - | |
| The labyrinth of my thoughts are stirred | W |
| By natures beauteous sculptured world | N |
| Many years I ve forgone since my freedom of dreams | G |
| When my toys came to life and minds created themes | G |
| But the sounds of my past are now deaf to my heart So | V |
| Like birds I ll take shelter beneath the leaves of nature | X |
