Courage like a lion
When winter roars in
Bravery of blackness
And of silence, too
Icicles as icy as fear
Rain hitting my face
As I ran from time, from life
Struggles, tears
They pelted my face
The raindrops
Pain ruled me
As I look back in the past
Now I see
My soul was quiet
Finally
My brain chattered on
Kept me company
I looked at the sky
Wished on the stars
Saw the horizon sink
I can’t give up,
I thought as I floated away
So I fought, I paddled, I screamed
I was sinking
But I couldn’t break
Patience would win
A battle against pain.
My soul howled with the wind
As it carried me away
That beautiful night.
