I imagine I appear over a frozen horizon,
A figure of black and white.
And as a shield of snow overshadows vision,
I am gone over the hills
Like the ephemeral joys of childhood.
To most I appear vulnerable,
My figure amusing
And my actions carefree
Instead I showcase resilience,
And display undeterred determination.
My life confined to the limitations of cold
And my body trapped on a prison of ice,
I walk the endless miles of chilled paths
For basics of survival
And all I carry is my audacity for hope.
A cliff breaks off in my sight,
One of jaw dropping height,
Water waits down below
So I embrace the wind as I slide off
And gracefully enter the frosty, aquatic world.
A completely new dimension,
Azure surroundings cushion me
As I sink down towards the bed
My seemingly useless wings separate,
I’m swept away with the current.
Streams of sunlight hit my back
As I take flight in shimmers of blue,
Fish of innumerable colors collectively crowd
And I’m lost to the beauty of the sea
Floating aimlessly in the expanse.
A figure of black and white.
And as a shield of snow overshadows vision,
I am gone over the hills
Like the ephemeral joys of childhood.
To most I appear vulnerable,
My figure amusing
And my actions carefree
Instead I showcase resilience,
And display undeterred determination.
My life confined to the limitations of cold
And my body trapped on a prison of ice,
I walk the endless miles of chilled paths
For basics of survival
And all I carry is my audacity for hope.
A cliff breaks off in my sight,
One of jaw dropping height,
Water waits down below
So I embrace the wind as I slide off
And gracefully enter the frosty, aquatic world.
A completely new dimension,
Azure surroundings cushion me
As I sink down towards the bed
My seemingly useless wings separate,
I’m swept away with the current.
Streams of sunlight hit my back
As I take flight in shimmers of blue,
Fish of innumerable colors collectively crowd
And I’m lost to the beauty of the sea
Floating aimlessly in the expanse.
