Winter is Coming

A cold breeze whispers in my ear...
"Winter draws near!"

Alas, I had forgotten the calling.
Left it behind, thinking it was not something that could be so.

Now I wonder. Now I see it...
I wait for the call.

The chance to embark in the journey...
The adventure...

To travel across the sea.
Where Winter calls it Home.

Where we will also call it so...

Walls Closing in yet Dreams Still Shine, A Guardian Comes to Life

Some say doors close upon you.
But these are the choices I make.
I feel the need to stay, despite the hardships.

Despite the doors that close.

Life... I will only have one.
Family... I will only have one.
Soul... I will only have one.

Work... I can have many.

I had the need to compromise.
Now I have the need to let the chance go.

So hard to achieve the goals others want.
Yet so easy to find my own.

I'm bound in my own journey now.
A path I chose by my will.
A wife, her daughter.

They are now... my own.
A guardian in the forest.

A guardian in my dreams...
This is what I...
Now become.
