Author's note: Here's a bleak one.
Far North
Where's the brilliant sunshine?
Just a weak, low light is here
Where's the fleeting warmth I seek?
My bones are now deeply cold
Have I become one with ice?
A frozen husk, not myself
Am I lost in the far north?
A man out of place and time
Where has my fellow man gone?
I'm abandoned and alone
Where are my brave rescuers?
I'm left to shiver and die
Why do snow swirls wrap me 'round?
I feel their icy embrace
Why do my thoughts flee from me
When, at last, I close my eyes?
