Windowpane

Not on the inside gazing out,
Nor on the outside looking in,
But trapped between two panes of glass
My screams are trembling from within.

Looking left, white snowflakes fall
Like dandruff from God's holy head.
The coldness penetrates my soul.
My body's numb, like I am dead.

On my right a family stands
And gathers 'round their Christmas tree.
They tear the paper from their gifts,
And let the captive presents free.

I pound upon the window cage
But all my cries now end in vain.
My body freezes to the glass.
I'm still trapped in my windowpane.
