Searching for a way

to steal the sky

fingers are numb

but to you I will fly

those rays of fire

outmatched by none

winter

bring me the sun

Clouds envelope and blind me

Infinite light

I'm to blind to see

give me my sight

for I long to be free

mad with despair

trapping hope in a cage

beaten

robbed of my rage

Halo of darkness

like ghosts in a dream

luminance fading

shadows creep up to me

An old ritual

seizing the earth

sacrificial offerings to insure rebirth

Consuming my warmth

tearing my soul

smiling down at my scorn and leaves me so cold

Constellations will find me

reaches out and grabs through the dark

Climbing to the top

of this frozen hell

night sky embraces me

puts me under a spell

a collage of light

observed from afar

escape

I devour the stars

Halo of darkness

like ghosts in a dream

luminance fading

shadows creep up to me

All warmth leaving but ash

suffocating surface

emerging through to find

Orion looking down and smiles

An old ritual

seizing the earth

sacrificial offerings to insure rebirth

Consuming my warmth

tearing my soul

smiling down at my scorn and leaves me so cold
