Trapped in winter’s cold

Branches cloaked in snow, shiver

As the sunlight fades

Clouds that swirl in azure skies

Waters flowing before my eyes

Catch me in hypnotic spells

Watching, as my dreams are quelled

Under sky, and over sea,

Is this where life has taken me?

Letting go, my thoughts do wander

Scattering about, it makes me ponder

What does all this really mean?

To be stuck here, in between

Through ruins, I try to make my escape

Unable to see, yet I sense my mistake

Moving about, with no reason nor rhyme

Knowing, so well, I’m near out of time

Can’t remove this mask, there’s no point in asking

Dare to take one more step, I feel my life crashing

Trying to run, from what I fear most

I find myself, floating, as now I am a ghost

Sunlight falls asleep

With a lullaby from clouds

Whispering good night

I’m trying to decide just what to do

Where will this staircase lead me to?

Should I climb the steps, in shadowed light?

I hesitate, observe the flight

Perhaps I should take the door instead

No, I think I should listen to my head

And take neither the stairs nor passageway

We’ll wait between them, my pet, all day

Pass the time, while we’re kept down here

Nothing, you see, is perfectly clear

Waiting around, flanked by indigo beams

Locked in the caverns, of dungeonous dreams
