Snow surrounds, the mood sedate

No beating heart, awaiting fate

The skies draw in, getting nearer

As the night becomes ever clearer

When the winds take control, arrogate

 

The fog finds its way to her side

Unafraid, she’s no reason to hide

She’ll just sit there, not wander

Or perhaps she’ll just ponder

Why this is the place, where she died

Atop the mighty waters

The gate to freedom floats

No need to swim up to it

No need to ride a boat

Fear not the glow before you

Nor the disturbance that lingers behind

Lighting your way through the darkness

In an altered state of mind

Simply walk among the ripples

I promise, it’s not too deep

For once you pass through

(watch your step, could be steep)

There’s no more you can do

*

*

Take the plunge, into eternal sleep

My eyes are blurred, in pastel pink

I think I’ve had too much to drink

Nothing’s making any sense

Imagination, my self defense

With trickery, you change my vision

Enough to cause this indecision

Do I carry on, the way I am

Or sober up, with another gram

That brings my focus back in view

Though things remain, quite askew

Perhaps it’s best to sleep it off

Forget the drink, what was that quaff?

That made everything, before me, blurry

While time blew by me, in a hurry

With this, a bitter pill, to swallow

Is this the path I’m doomed to follow?

I’ve risen from my earthly bed

I prefer to be on top, instead

Of six feet under, where I may

Lose the passing time of day

I want to be above the lands

With my fiddle, in my hands

Playing to the sky, and sun

With a simple pluck, or a searing strum

Yes, my music summons, my dear Raven

Who guards me closely, in my haven

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
