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.
