Icicles drip in the midmorning sun Like a Saline bag feeding your arm. Intravenous emotions that fill my veins While my heart has cause for alarm. My frosty exterior matches the scene That I observe through a window of mist. My demeanors unsteady, like walking on ice Around the edge of a virtual abyss. Thoughts of the future while denying my past Relying on forgiveness and repent. Making a list, of often unwanted gifts A waste, of the money I have spent. Another drip falls from the cold icicles Vanishing, once it hits the ground. Wasting away, like we all will one day To a silence, that's serene yet profound.
