He scattered my thoughts

Paled the vivid colors, blocked,

Then frightened away my dreams

He was darkness, the ebony night;

Chasing shadows round my head,

His visions, quite obscene

Like a nightmare, far too real;

My slumber, shackled,

Chained, within my silent scream

He held the key, I’m no longer free

From the darkness of my memory

The skies open up

And raindrops begin to fall

When a cloud sneezes

I shall seek some comfort

In the mountains, frosted white

Hide away in hollows

Casting shadows in the light

Blend in with the hilltops

Put my back against the sky

Bow my head in reverie

To angels passing by

Embracing things around me

Amidst the snow and ice

Finding solace in this place

My frozen paradise

When your world seems upside down

Reflect upon the sights around

Take in the colors of the sky

Then look at trees as if they fly

Where rock formations touch the sun

And waters tread, in stillness, run

Playing with the rippling breeze

The water, rocks and mighty trees
