Interlude II. Lyrics

A simple cabin hushed by snow

One two three steps

To the door

A pause…

Silence

That muffled ear drum silence

"You're ignoring my calls" silence

Trapped on arrival silence

Waking up alone silence

Snowy cabin silence,

Where a young girl dreams

And a young man wonders

And mismatched ideas clump

Together in hopes love just /fixes/ itself

Like in the movies

A guilty silence ,

Where loose car change

Gets dusted off and spent

On a latte you drive

One hour to find.

But in winter

Nature's silence laughs

At movies, coffee, and failed expectations -

Laughs loudly at lessons

Learned from cabin DVDs,

As if humans can build

Without ever destroying

As if humans create

Without really trying

As if humans can change

Without ever forgiving

Without silence -

that things didn't work out the

first time child,

winds chuckle through snow drifts,

doesn't mean they never will.
