On a foggy day
sight ends a fathom away
no lights to guide
I stand on a sheet of ice
I search for a rope
O any sign! A ray of hope
but in vain my effort lies
I stand on a sheet of ice
I think to move in ways more than a dozen
but help me, god! My legs are frozen
I cannot move whatever I try
I stand frozen on a sheet of ice
In the darkness of the night
my heart pounds, I stand in fright
It becomes harder to breathe as time passes by
I stand frozen on a sheet of ice
I look down at the ice
it is thin but I see a light
covered in darkness, deep down it lies
a shining star beneath this sheet of ice
It is my only hope
anywhere else I do not see even the thinnest rope
and hence I decide to take a dive
bidding a farewell to the world above the ice
I plunged inside and began to stroke
towards the light, my source of hope
the world seemed calm, a darkness descended
I had a smile, my pain has ended.
