Trudging up a snowy path
This woman has been wandering for hours
Lost in terrible blizzard
Being on a mountain it did not shield her
Ice and snow pelted her from all sides
And the higher on the mountain
Snow was deeper and deeper
Soon the snow was to much for the woman
Desperate for shelter she walks faster
Secluded far into the mountain's path
A forlorn looking cabin sits deep in the snow
Shivering and exposed to the freezing temperatures
Slowly she heads towards it
No lights or smoke was coming from the house
But yet she fumbled with the door
Dust greeted the young woman
As she opened the heavy door
It was familiar scene in a very sad way
Everything in the house was set for a candle light dinner
Reminding her of what she ran away from
The table was set with delicate placings and silverware
Walking up to the table she notices something
Upon the table was a lonely glass of white wine
Wondering what happened at this place
As she looks around she sees a picture on the wall
Tears fall from her blue eyes
In the picture was a younger, happier version of herself and a young man
Her hair was in an elegant up-do
The young man was styling a white tuxedo
And she was in a stunning white gown
Finally she knows were she is
This was where he was going to bring her
After they were back from their honeymoon
It was over and she was back
Although her lover never made it back
A truck came out of nowhere
While they were walking across the street in England
Pushing her out of the way
He took the full hit of the semi truck
Then rescue crew told her
He did not suffer but died upon impact
So she ran away from her fears and sadness
To the one place she can escape
Her Rocky Mountains
Continuing to look at the picture
She hoped it would spring to life
But she sat on the floor and cried
Never had she thought she would have
Seen a picture of him again
Tears where on her face
But she continued down her unexpected path
