Desperate Times

(1 rating)
by Stephen W. Cote

Be escorted from the shelter of your village
Through the blight of a storm
Where the fog hangs low
And you become lost
In an obfuscating snow

Blaze a trail through the cold mist
To the snowy peaks of wretched retreat
Where the climes are sheer
And the sunlight doesn't reach
And your foes disappear

In this solitude celebrate the cowardice
Of your weak soul
Shallowly sublime
But don't even think
About your desperate times
