Time freezing these dreams that were flowing along this river of hopes and halos I’m trying to be innocent.
Trying to be a better me.
Trying to be patient but my wings trifle among the trees, trifles in this cage.
Trifles cloaked in beige, trifles I need to fix before this river thaws.
Before I lose it all.
Before I’m among the clouds with black feathers. before the Tyrant finds my sins, I’m gone.
