Clouds transformed the day, turned it into night
Sunny days remembered, of warm golden light
Wind chill unrelenting, cold eliminated warm
Clothes poorly suited, forecast not for storm
Trees observe my passing, ice on every branch
Swaying in the breeze, their mesmerising dance
Snowfall added danger, energy sapping cold
Past life reflection, thoughts of growing old
Track hidden by snow, footsteps each surprise
Slippery stone, fall and pain, slower now to rise
Gloom reveals a cabin, salvation just steps away
Survival strength emerges, demise selects delay
