Leaving Nothing In The Snow Behind

I’m feeling less than holy

My leaves are tattered and dry

Too long sitting in this warm place

I’d fly if they’d not crumble

Light from inside on my windows

Reflected back as deep shades

Haunting me with the complete now

Cold sand a passageless portal

Lines too well defined stand straight

Empty space created in their guard

Holds the three muses at tired bey

Open, closed and slitted eyes seek

Melting sand returning to trickle

Stillness shattered and falling

Shards break confinement’s hold

Winds merge flawed sands and snow

White walls crumble swiftly in a calm

Opening to the wildest winds’ chill

In a particle storm I awake determined

My wing-leaves reenforced by sheets of ice

Muses drop from their pale prisons

The grains of their solid existance

Melt back into the blinding storm

Rush my lungs with glass and ice

A paper cut wind unleashed

Lifts the tales of liberation forth

Spilling leaves to clothe and cling

Burning fuel tattooing others’ dreams

A step toward the fade out sky

Falls into the waiting powder field

Leaving nothing behind with footfall echos

Life in journey free upon the pathways
