Lost in the snow
Praying for some way out knee deep in pain
Huddling in what little comfort she has
Faces of the ones she ha loved guide her through the white oblivion
Some carry her
Many taunt her in her suffering
All the way, the pain grows deeper
With every step she loses hope
She falls to her knees as the tears freeze on her face
She lays down forgetting why sheis even walking this way
All begins to fade
But not before she hears a voice
A strong voice
A quiet voice
A voice that drowns the storm
A voice that takes away the cold
She opens her eyes to the sea
A sight she's never seen
Her body goes numb as she takes it all in
In that moment, nothing more beautiful to her
A sudden warmth brings her to realize she'snot alone
The voice
It's him
He whispers in her ear as tears of relief fall from her face
You're safe he says
I've got you
His arms wrapped around her as they watch the sun set
All snowy thoughts are banished by the tides
All is forgotten...
Until the magic fades
The storm returns
But she's stronger now
She knows now that she can make it
He's waiting for her
Far from this storm
He waits at the shore
She must not give up
The memory of their meeting keeps her warm
Gives her hope
The snow begins to thin and she starts to run
But as she reaches the rock shore she stops.
He's gone.
She falls as she runs toward the sea
Pain crawls up her leg
She cries as the infection sets in
Motionless she stares at the rising sun
A pair of hands pick her up just as the first rays of red light cover her face
To weak to see her rescuer she falls fast asleep
When she awakens her wounds are clean
...And there he is.
Stronger than ever in her eyes
She sits up but he hands her a blanket.
Sleep he says
She smiles and lays back down
She closes her eyes trusting that when she opens them again that the snow will not return
The sound of the waves lull her into a doze
As she finally slips into a deep sleep he kisses her gently on the head
She is safe...
Forever with him she will be safe.
