Weeks on end this fog has not lifted
It blurs my vision and
my mind's nerves are racing
crashing, connecting, circling
tangling itself with this dense fog.
Today, the skies are gloomy
But the sun is trying to shine through
One can see the sparkles and glitter cut through the clouds
But still the day is gloomy
Still the clouds are there.
In the distance, I can see the road
It leads on and on, and soon it disappears
Something too far ahead, you will never know
I can run on this path
But the fog is still there, the clouds, the sun - all as they are
Try to control the fog
Try to control the clouds
Try to control the sun
Will you will the winds to blow them away
Maybe I can whisper sweet words for them to skip away
I laugh because
I have whispered those words
and the sun has shined through the cracks of the clouds
down to the cracked visage,
These clouds make the days cold.
