I fall before an onyx sky
Sharp winds whisper anxious words in my ears
Freezing tendrils coil around my limbs
Along the horizon, a brilliant glow
A smile so bright it cracks the twilit welkin
I reach out for the light,
I feel the heat against my trembling flesh,
Warm eyes pierce through me,
Melting my chains
Laughter, so soft and easy
Muffles the whispers
I hold my breath, I wait for the pain
It does not return,
I stand on shaking legs,
Let the light absorb into my skin
Breathing life through my veins
I turn my back on the shattered pieces of the onyx sky
