You're there, so close
I'm reaching
You're in my grasp
You're slipping
I'm holding tight
Not tight enough
Land far below
Too far
You're falling
I'm screaming
You're silent
You're watching
I'm breathless
You're betrayed
No time
To save you
I'm waking up
To the relief of knowing
It was just a dream.
Posted in response to the challenge Out.
My heart breaks
For every snowflake
That twirls down,
Solitary
Amongst a gray sky
It looks lonely, you see
Not as if I don’t know how that feels.
A tree is downed in the forest
It appears as a skeletal hand resting upon the snow covered floor
Brown beneath, like ivory rotting away as it ages
And pure white on top, bone bleached by the sun.
I’ve started looking forward to the little things a little more
Than I look forward to next year
Because it feels like next year is uncertain.
I’m excited to eat peanut butter toast in the car before skiing,
