Spread your arms wide
dive
the snow envelops my knees
it makes me want to believe in
you
your candle is dim a flickering light
in sight on top of the hill
I am pushing
a thousand clouds to insulate
the sky
only the beat of the ice crunching underneath
my feet
purple the color of your
hidden majesty
in this river
flood of oncoming night
play your sad drums for me
underneath the tree
up there on our crayon hill
keep it steady keep it
still
but in a minute I am undone
I cannot cannot leave you now
in the world all gray I wanted to feel
zephyrs and sunrise against my face
it looked so warm
it looked so warm
from the other side
so I strapped on my wings
took to your sky
blinded by a
million sparkling dreams
snowflakes falling
into infinity
the howling drums
of wind and war echoing
around me…
and then the
candle
went out
