O bittersweet balm and barb of hope,
leave me be,
but lead me on;
let me breathe
and make me see;
keep my eyes and heart from closing,
once and for all, to the distant light.
Save the chance that, one day,
spring will come,
the way will thaw,
and I will remember how to grow back
after this long and silent winter of the mind and its little soul.
