I have watched the splinters of wood fade in the sun before me,
The leaves on the trees turn to brown and fall from their branches,
I have felt the winter wind blow in across this field,
I have traveled long in this valley.
I seek shelter from my misery,
I seek hope from my past,
Here I stand in a debacle,
Needing you, at long last.
Do not let me slink away,
Like a snake upon the hot desert sand seeking shade,
Do not let me fall,
Like a tree mercilessly cut from its home,
Do not abandon me,
You, are my only hope.
Pull me out of this slumber,
Wake me from this dream,
I never thought this day would come,
Temptation all around me.
I see your face,
Rescue me,
Lest I slip into her claws,
This snake that sneaks in and draws me near,
This I have acknowledged,
This I fear.
