AFTER THE SNOW FALLS:

MENTAL ELEMENTAL....

 

Starting out

Cold, and wet

Disorientated from rain drops clouding my binary vision

Collisions with the element that is bring me utter discomfort

Then

A freezing wind is given refuge during my time of passage

Snow...

Falling fast and hard

Covering every inch of my humanly frame

Not caring that I am in power on this planet

But

It covers me and is deceived by this stature

I am not inanimate

Nor am I a tree which is sturdy and can handle

The beauty, the pain, the foreboding of your nature

Seeking protection

None is found

Screaming for the constant downfall to subside

How much more will this fragile suit that drapes me bare?

 

My cries fall upon deaf ears

The whiteness of your beauty blinds me

Convinced

That nothing matters anymore

Given in to the frost bite of numbness

The fact that it has come and begun and is

 

Engulfed in a blizzard, no thoughts of my own

Pain and pleasure existing cohesively

Where does the ending begin and the beginning end?

Mental Death

Stinging the lids of the purest eyes

 

Asking , beseeching

Running crazily looking for the answers

Trying to find another color

When did I lose myself?

Where am I buried?

 

What became of me….

After the snow fell…

Life is a long journey if we are lucky. Someday we feel like a champion. Some days we need to feel a bit lonely and find a quiet place.
