Blessing
Snow gathered momentum to a chorus of confusion
Echoes of tortuous silence
A vacuum of restless reprieve
Like moist drift sand it spread its treacherous message
Opened trap doors of innocence
Coalesced sinkhole’s dredged mud
Answering unspoken questions it decanted crystals of pain
Touched sentient clouds in transit
Sounded fog horns in distant mist
Before spring melted its steadfast grip on a slippery path
Night fell onto wild thunderous icicles for
Shadows beginnings and irretrievable end
Under cover of ice in the underworld of impermanent frost
The journey man brushed defeat
In cold blood’s sad circular flow
Endless void refused to halt rock bottom’s crushing arrest
Torched dreams once light faded
Shed darkness oblivion and surrender
Snow boots and shoe strings draped a noose of relief
Suffocation took one ultimate breath
Embraced nothingness and final demise
And yet the midnight sun sent just one single glimmering ray
A threadbare rope ladder of shivering hope to guide
Him to remove the pick axe from a lost mindless brain
A comet sparked fire from rage and ember from blizzards
The moon croaked on its mocking laughter’s disguise
For an avalanche had protected a glimpse of his soul
