in flux

evergreen becomes me

resistant child grown of wood and branch

despondent

lost in flux

distort the images of who i am

searching for fire i felt the fall pulling me back again

as seasons changed

i spun the earth

my hands felt full of stone and hardened

time left

construct of all our fears

time left

it becomes the catalyst for failure

i'll miss the winter ways

the frost plumes breathing loud within

sound and shake that kept the glow

a passion beaming from our eyes

and at the end i gave all of me to you

shed skin and felt alive

so send your waters tonight and

wash the memories away

nothing looked the same when

the ice dripped down my eyes

gaze against a reflection of myself

now worn and winded vitals keep me trudging on

made of wood branch breaking while i grow

gaze against from roots to roads

beside a shadow laid frayed and waiting

one day i'll look back

following along

retracing

beside a shadow laid frayed and waiting

outstretched arms to bring me home

stare back from the evergreen

rest my bones

bring me home

under the night rest my bones

shadows balance on worlds

under the night

into the abyss
