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.
