Passages

unrhymed quatrain The cutting wind that bellows and then whispers  deceiving in it's lull only to cut through and back when we turn memories awakened and transported in irreversible succession  shifting the moments played out as unworthiness clasps the frozen images  Impatient as the sequence of events flashes in the mind an inescapable prison with no jailer  the definitive continued progression of bygone sentiment plays havoc part secret, part statement, the past truth haunts deeply dark Redundant buying, selling, and bartering for emotions devitalizes  as the bully beats down any feelings for remorse  adulation becomes the bitter routine of nothingness  a new found path beckons with the dispassionate pureness of sterility  Rejoicing in the decadencey of not caring and pure unshakable freedom  the wind can blow never turning as the branches it breaks fall mourning comes then anger in an unretractable moment blazes into light the tree will remain long after the careless wind moves on
