Winter Day

sunlight lances pure and white crashing into the crystals bright rainbows flashing in the light the sharp brightness stealing sight frigid wind blowing fast swirling with crystals diamond hard seems to slash into my skin with sharp pain I cannot ignore distant across the unbroken white lies a goal that I must reach somehow another footstep take and another in endless chain tall trees stand in covering snow their green limbs frosted white going on along my path sheltering me not from the wind wind does howl through their limbs sounding like the hopeless damned it would steal my hope away taking my strength to journey on endless does the journey same unbroken white always the same every step almost too hard each one feeling to be my last somewhere beyond my hope does lie somehow something that I must find far beyond me somewhere and I seek to be there endless pain from blinding light and slashing crystals within the wind the endless steps that continue on and the fear that I might fail somehow within must I find somewhere the will to carry on somehow the strength for another step somehow be able to do it again far beyond where I can see some how can I ever there be find the place that I do seek somewhere the place that I must be walking on an endless plain with every step just the same onward into the frigid wind and sharp light that gives only pain
