With delicate consideration he pokes through
The shivering head numb to such light
Adjusts with weary eyes in an attempt
To work its way to freedom
He baths in the glow with calmness
For a moment the darkness forgotten
His breath licks the freshness of life
As he wonders how long he will survive
In this wondrous glow he embraces
He is blind to the shadow
Emerging beyond the clouds
AWAKE
He escapes back within his shell
Security, loneliness, carefully he searches
To hear if the sounds from above have gone
Where?
Has the danger disappeared?
The mind slips into eternal daze
He wonders
Was it ever really there?
