A Winter Walk

The enchanting sun hid away from the forest.  Desperation and survival assisted me on my trail.  This destiny to escape this area consumed my mind.  I needed to see her already; I needed to aid my wife with medicine.  As the blizzard grew stronger, I was losing sight of my whereabouts. I must escape and reach safety.  Yet, I persevered through the blistering pain for my wife had only a few more ounces of sand in her hourglass.  All I envisioned was curing the pain she was under.  Through hours of hours of walking, I had finally reached my destination to find out it was too late.  She laid there, lifeless and dead. I had hoped that I could have reached her in time before our five year anniversary tomorrow. I will always love her.
