Wandering restless through the hillside On a cold December day, My solitary journey guided Only by the pilgrims high in the sky. Fog invades the lands Blocking the last rays of the dying sun And a veil of mist and serenity Gracefully covers the night. The shadowy trees of the forest, Once imbued with beauty and life Now twisted and eternally frozen By a shroud of snow and ice. As the glow of the dawning sun Vanishes in the witherd sky My eyes wander up through the whispering winds And watch the glare of the stars dilute.
