~ As The Fog Does Lift ~


Before you entered my shattered life
I lived in a haze letting the days pass me by,
Missing all that did pass, right by my eyes
Not feeling what was missing inside.

I stumbled around like a blind man ready to crack
Not realizing that time had gone past,
Reliving past dreams was my main task
A great fog had descended, dark nights did last.

Then the day came, there was you
Your face broke the fog, with beauty anew,
I saw an angel standing, increasing my view,
Beyond that dank world, into a world, oh so new.

The fog around me had started to lift
Giving me light, so I can see past my gate,
To a world where you, my angel does live
I can see now, that the fog's gone away.

Now I live in a world of beauty and sun
My heart has been taken, fairly it was won
By the angel that did bring back the sun
The fog lifting, till finally there was none.
