A light through the clouds

I stand in the fog

Look around and see nothing

I wonder where I am

I wonder where to go

Yet also the silence yields no clue

Suddenly I hear a bird sing

A distant sound, a distant dream

A reminder of the sun and the sky

Up there, somewhere

Suddenly I realise

The fog is my world, my life

The bird my friend, to no end

Suddenly I smile, ever so faintly

at the realisation,

at the light breaking through the clouds.
