Reflection

midnight. uncertainty.

silent crystalline drops experiencing gravity

working against flesh 

and kissing the ground beneath.

heart competing in a sprint

racing itself to the finish.

legs pumping, feet embracing asphalt 

pushing faster, farther 

from confusion, apathy.

trying to catch up to

passion.

grasping, pulling, aching.

breathing labored,

soot, ash, frustration.

heart-cry wrenching

from repentant lips;

calling, calling, calling.

dawn. safety.

fragile light consumes deep blackness

eating away pain

and loosing freedom over chains.

captivity no longer an option

sweetness cascades into the brokenness

drenching the empty, heartless, emotional.

weakness morphing, becoming

joyful melody, courage.

fire breaks free

feeding those bound to love,

passion.

weaving, creating, instilling. 

drive intensified,

raging, ferocious, lovely

battle-cry tearing

throughout warrior's body,

freeing, freeing, freeing.

dusk. peace.
