Rise

I feel the gravity
Escaping my lungs
As I breathe in the
Fumes of desperation
Trying to take in the
Taste of the Flame that
was once there

I crawl to the edge
Of the darkness
Looking for the
Silhouette of light
That guided me to
The heavens where
I planted my feet

I feel a pool of emotions
Wash over me as I
Tighten my grip on
The fantasy I harp on
Feeling it close the doors
On opportunities I crave
The most

I lay across a sheet of ice
Praying that the sun
Warms the cold spots
On my heart while I try
To repair the tracks for
My train of thought to move
Without confusion

The ice melts allowing
Me to absorb the fresh
Water and it begins to
Cleanse the stains I've
buried deep Within my soul
Flowing through my veins
Wrapping around my wolf
Spirit giving him the strength
To stand and fight against
The wind
