Frozen SkiesA Poem by dtrooshThis is a song I wrote a little bit agoBroken and beaten hes ready to die His eyes search for his last glimpse of sky But grey is all he sees as it starts to rain Slowly he sits up, fighting through the pain Through torrential rain and thunder taunting him He brings himself to his feet and surveys the world so grim Stumbling down a well worn trail The rain begins to turn to hail Broken and beaten hes not ready to die For one last time he must see the sky This is his one final wish The only time in his life he is selfish Limping along being pounded by hail This is a quest he cannot fail His pace is steady but oh so slow The hail stops and it starts to snow He slips and falls, sprawled on the ground Laid on his back, unable to make a sound His limbs grow cold and he begins to cry He knows never again will he see the sky Broken and beaten about to die He franticly searches the clouds for sky He lays there still as his life leaves From his chest his last breath heaves In desperation his eyes open for an instant The sky is there, so blue and distant With a smile he closes his eyes And with his dream fulfilled he slowly dies
