Turning Slow

Turning slow and twisting deeper 
changes lurk and often seep 
holding litmus ever tighter 
lifting hope above the light 

crystal snifter's promise linger 
soft tip curls of comfort  lain 
precious hues  sifting yellow 
warming up  unto the pain 

wistful songs fill out the chasm 
drinking in dark shades of blue 
shifting winds drift off the boundary 
rampant bids the night adieu
