Winter Storm

Winding down the treacherous path
Deep inside the mountain full of wrath
The clouds are menacing, the wind is cold
My eyes water and it begins to snow

I fight for air and my lungs start to burn
I no longer know which way to turn
My feet are numb, my mind confused
My body is tired and feels abused

I want to rest I need to sleep
But I plow through the snow thick and deep
I've lost my way, where do I go
My mind is drifting and I start to slow

Maybe I can climb up to the crest
Or maybe I should lay down and finally rest
I fight my way but then give in
I know that winter just might win

Just a moment is all I need
Why didn't I listen to the wise man's heed
I fall to my knees then to a heap
I lay down to rest to forever sleep
