Destiny

Why me? Stranded on hard ice, alone Sun's cold light false hope Howling wind cuts soul and bone Destiny Lost frozen feet walk, no bliss Silent prayer their guide Miracles born in darkest corridors whisper and kiss Destiny Life at last ! Coming fast ! Planet of eat or be eaten, knife in hand Suddenly strength of 10, Bear meat though arm needs cast Destiny Two hundred miles, a cabin, maybe a Coors ? Instead of a Coors, Trapper's murderous eyes wait till I sleep I awake, tied to a bed, sound of chainsaw roars Destiny Lunatic approaches, sinister smile Prey has fallen into his trap Want to be away from here, at least a mile Destiny A stumble, a fall, chainsaw cuts rope, life at times fair ! I'm free, strength of 10 again ! I give trapper coffee, while he is tied to his chair Destiny
