So Hope Could Grow

Cold the winter's sun, in haze enveloped Ice crystal's daggers atop the glistening snow Still his once-beating heart, portals shuttered Stopped his proud shoulders, in the face of the storm Ice crystal's daggers atop the glistening snow Trudged he onward, relentless, destiny unknown Stooped his proud shoulders, in the face of the storm Sought he a sign, an omen, so hope could grow Trudged he onward, relentless, destiny unknown Eye-tearing winds gathered around him Sought he a sign, an omen, so hope could grow As twilight drew closer, no let-up of snow What was this, in his path, a flower did bloom As night descended, his heart beat anew He inhaled of the flower, his face lit up, all aglow His shoulders again straight, hope did they show As night descended, his heart beat anew Ice crystal's daggers atop glistening snow His shoulders again straight, hope did they show Marched he onward, defiant, atop glistening snow
