Where Broken Dreams Go

When November rains, midnight is calling.
Ravaged by wind, bare maples still standing.
December descends with soft snow falling
The migrant geese come in for a landing.

Hard winter looms with an indignant stare,
Dark clouds taunt as the anger releases.
Cruel lies thrash my skin, pierce the bitter air.
Soul shatters into a thousand pieces.

When twilight beckons with pink shades seeping,
My frantic pulse ebbs with the fading light.
Cold and tired, I have no trouble sleeping.
Time passes unhindered in dead of night.

Bruised hearts heal beneath January snow…
Still I wonder, where do broken dreams go?
