My heart is ill
With fever
Smoke clouds my eyes
I fear forever
My mind aches
With reason and decision
Thought brings me
No nearer to consolation
Or destination
My toes drown
In frozen fear
Breaking at the joints
Swimming restlessly
In my black shoes
Haunting you are
He is
Experience teaches me only
The need to learn more
Where is the cloud
On my sun-shiny day
How long must I search
To find my way
Back to your heart
And to stay
