Through Cold Night Air

Stepping outside my door 
This chill wakens me 
Mind now so refreshed 
Heart warmed under overcoat 

Eyes ablaze this night 
Nothing cooling my desire 
Fire of my life 
Waiting there so patiently 

End of my trail 
Nothing meaning much more
Much more meaning less
World left behind me

Screaming to let go 
Not hardly good enough 
For this driven man 
Striding to his eternity

Oh so very lost
Are those little brains 
Grasping at classless ideals 
Groping for something unreal 

I rush to destiny 
A rare beauty unseen 
By many mortal eyes 
For they are blinded 

Caught in a whirlpool 
Vision set on pause 
Silver gold and green 
Only things in sight

"A poem to me is the essence of any thought,
Being built from its foundation into tower scraping sky.
It can fly like no other bird to places never seen,
Even spaceships can only dream of taking its place."
