On water smooth as glass sentinels stand on mirrored floors as they float on life's illusion.

she stands in snow
surrounded by wolves
no defense no shield
she's holding your truth

loved by the mist
kissed by the fog
incredibly vulnerable
incredibly strong

faltering slightly
she falls to the ground
she wimpers and crys
she never stays down

alone she will rise
wipe away tears
go on in the dark
hide all her fears

magnificant lady
beautiful soul
life sings you a song
and then takes its toll
