Never Forever Frozen In Time
Jaimey Perham © 02/28/2010

Wandering warrior lost in the wilderness of snow

Separated from his army unit, very alone and cold

Looking for some food and water to fuel his depleted soul

Wounded by an enemy’s bullet, now memory unknown

Off in the distance, in his field of vision, he sees an old wise man

Shaman of sorts who lends a helping hand

Elder provides water for the soldier; mother healing first aid, wife cooks lamb

After recovery, the soldier meets his beautiful daughter Ann

Young woman warms the soldiers aching ice cold heart

Sadly however, she can’t mend his broken mind on her part

So, the wandering warrior goes back on his way and departs

To once again find his fellow soldiers in arms who are now miles apart

The soldier drifts into a fearsome forest frozen in time, stranded in a jungle of vines

No hope at all of finding that god’s path home, that invisible line

But to his surprise he encounters a wild beast of the other kind

They fight for survival, and the monster becomes blind

Around the creatures neck he removes an old compass

A chain necklace made of silver and gold that helps him navigate out of the forest

Finally he finds his army unit, and is free from that nasty mess

The freedom fighter now lives with an internal state of bliss
