Never Alone

The icy winds subdue my soul with a livid will to live Warmth against the frost, dwindling in the enshrouding grove We are scattered on this earth, cold, warmed and in-between And here I stand amid the shy sun and the bold but fragile icicles Where it shines not enough to sooth the gasps and blows of bluster I am aware of our gravity, sinking my feet into the snow This is how I am never alone How furious I now groan. . . How I must be alive to be close to the erosion of mastered solitude To taste the regions of feelings never felt! How I crave for your pristine awareness to diminish So I may bask in the enlightenments all my own Yes—I am bright in your presence A flickering flame of ever-more Secretly lost in the wastelands of never—nevermore! Never alone, See my dilemma, how it wrinkles like frosted vines Clinging to the coldest iron in your hearts! You feel it—how I hate it that you do! Impaled, determined prevailing The detestation of my winds wailing! Oh, Understood!!! Understood…. I am Element Unknown, Passing the entails of the irksome groan We are scattered, but I am ever among, The restless writhing brethren of the knowest beknowest known Still remaining, cold, lost and scathing skin to bone— Never Alone
