Let Me Be Empty
Let me be empty
Oh, and weightless
a solitary feather on the wind
for the weight is heavy
like snow pressing on winters limb
my heart grown frail
now paper thin
Come not close
lest transparent eyes
reveal what lies just beneath the ice
A blazing fire
frozen in motion
so sudden this storm
of overwhelming emotions
A cold and oh
such a quizzical thing
how drastically a landscape can change
In a soul or a life
In a day over night
yet neath the soil hides hope of the spring
The sun will send its rays
and these storms will pass away
Opaque tears will turn
from days colored frozen
back to a brazen fiery way
In the book of the broken
finding rest on clarities page
But today let me be empty
Oh, and weightless
for so heavy my burdens be
cast me a feather floating on the wind
till this freezing storm be shapeless
