Silver-Grey
At the dimming of the day
unfriended by his fire he stands,
a warrior of the wasteland,
body crippled by the elements' cruel hand.
Wind-burnt and swept his hair is silver-grey;
a mix of black and white, and every cast between,
till warrior and wasteland are the same.
His gaze fastens on the landscape
in winter light's slow fade,
lake and mountain stained that silver shade.
