Coping

The distance, calling,
Bringing forth the dawn,
Waterfalls gushing upon mossy rocks,
Scales shimmering in the clear rivers.

Harken lost souls,
Harken. For the cause is not met,
The cause is slowly lost,
Gone with the grains in the sand.

Bring me to my window,
The window so dusty,
Long has it been since I've gazed upon thee,
Most bountiful mud and muck.

Carry me on the wind,
The wind so cool,
The wind that freezes my heart,
My heart, which now is stone.

I turned my back on the smile,
The smile that once melted glaciers,
Through meadows green and plenty,
The shepherd guiding the sheep.

It has been long since the sheep left my pastures,
Long since they  grazed upon my green back,
Time is my enemy,
Time, i must fight till the end.

And now as the luminescent orb glows,
So faintly in the sky,
My eyes begin to thicken,
With the fog i leave behind.
