In the eyes of a mad man
Black darkness flows
A universe released within a glare
And captured by the static space
I drown in that vacant distance
As wisps of snow softly flutter 'round
White embraces me within its shield
I am the one lost soldier
Taken prisoner within
As streams of flurry delicately rush for me
Clinched within wind
My bones fall frail
Limp
The tips of my toes leave that long forgotten hell
And with my last gasp of time, I lift
Let go
I am set free of that long forgotten mutiny
Tears of heavens burn me
Blind me
And with my last squeeze of hope, I'm weightless
Air bound
Eyes close as soft breezes stroke my cheek
And thoughts no longer think
Frozen wind plunges into my lungs
My taut skin loosens
And I shed last winters attire
Bared naked to the bone
I shatter to the flurry that once carried me
And I can finally breathe.
