Restless Peace

Open my mouth to speak, words fleeting
Just as spring comes, chasing away the cold.
Unfriendly contentment
Bone-chilling fresh air
Garroted

Rising tides,
frozen soil prepares the soul 
Its harsh surface 
Smoothes away excess fat
Left naked, unprotected

All that is left:
sand and salt,
Neither will be used
Grace fills my song for the evening,
Resting easy.   

Covered in wind that clouds longevity,
Observing the light at the end of the shore,
And a new day brings 
new life.
