Hope

Heavy white landscape
Thick and impenetrable 
Closing in
Cutting off
Swirling, biting
Unfriendly frost

Lost and unsure
Despair creeping in
Sleep so inviting
A way for it to end
Sinking lower and lower
Drowning in tears

For a moment you look up
And a new dawn is breaking
Fighting back the cold
The sun overtaking 
Let go of doubts 
Dwell not on fears
A new day will rise 
From the ashes of nightmares
