A Depthless Darkness

Feet upon the softly fallen snow.
Looking down the depthless darkness.
Mirror beneath of still and blackened glass.
Beckoning, taunting, calling.
The snow falls softly upon the path.

Toes touching cold concrete.
Moonlight the mistress of this night.
The snow falls softly upon the path.

The wind stills its dance.
Silence shares its secret.
The depthless darkness calls us all.
The snow falls softly upon the path.

Distant lights blink their distress.
The time has come for eternal rest.
Arms grasp the air.
One last whispered prayer.
The depthless darkness rushes forth.
The snow falls softly upon the path.

Hope still shimmers in the fading light
A faltering flame, this night.
The promise of a renewed twilight.
The snow falls softly upon the path.
