After the Fall

Rain- a welcome to hibernating skin . .
      a Southern accent can melt snow from the highest mountain    
                        
                          in the wind, a voice carries,
                                 alone and waiting
                                
                        You could be secure in warmth
         yet, a chill invades and you allow its touch to take hold
                                   
                                                  
                    I am aware
              that you are capable of being the rush of freedom,
                                     as quivering lips 
                         
                            thirst for adventure
                                               
                                   
                                  - frost has chosen its path 



                                As my entire being trembles,
           while feeling a liquid lullaby lingering lightly along the skin
 
                        
                                                        I realize 
                                      in that moment,
                     feeling is after the fall
