Fog and mist enshroud the stars
The lights that illuminate my way
Before, I found it beautiful
Swirling tapestries dancing in the darkness
But now, they are cold, wet obstacles
As quicksand placed between my heart and goal
Formless, yet made of steel
Shapeless, yet aching reminders
When sleep comes, the apparition fades
The sun shines brightly, and she I love
Is with me, at my side, and I remember
The smile, the joy, the happy heart
Now gone, and God knows where
And daybreak brings return of bitter things
I do not wish this.
I wonder, how can man turn back a clock
To when such sadness dared not show its face
Knowing I cannot, I must move on
The fog’s cool touch reminds me
That someday, my wish will come true
If I but wait … and wait … and wait.
