In the chilly cold air

of the starless dark night, 

I rub my hands for warmth

and think, 

oh how alone I am in this sad world. 

Walking forward, 

frosty grass rustling underneath my feet

I search for a source of warmth, 

a beacon of light and sound,

a comfort of love and home, 

but all that is left for me is

the Trail of Tears leading to

the ends of the earth, 

where everyone I knew had

walked off a long time ago.
