Fire And Ice

From the abyss of depression
Came a ray of hope
The depths of the sea
Were conquered by you long ago

I needed to hear your siren call
Before I lost my mind
Even if you led me to my death
Crashing into rocks and foam

Brutal epiphany of consciousness
Played out in a wild scene
Your voice loudly proclaiming
Independence

How many days escaped me
How many nights betrayed
As you surveyed me
To make sure I followed the way

Eyes that burrow into my soul
An embrace of pure strength
Statuesque and stately
Radiating beauty and power

Fire and ice
In remarkable interplay
Drawing me closer
To feeling alive
