Infinity
a desperate plea for anything
to shatter this isolation
rings out clear across a desolate arctic landscape.
-but only to ring back, and i am alone
only an echo sings across this vacant plane.
bitter winds seem to slice through me, like ice cold razors
and with one fluid motion, they pierce-- passing beyond the barrier of my skin.
sanctuary, i folly--
expecting the warm blood to seethe to the surface and comfort the frigid and tired skin.
but i find no such comfort.
deprived of all warmth, all comfort, all companionship
i sit here alone, staring off into the white glacial scape.
funny how blue the sky is, the most beautiful shade of ice cold blue-- cloudless and crisp.
i stare towards the heavens as i lie on my back, the icy cold grips me from beneath.
i feel as if i should cry
....to defrost my face.
i am drifting-- lightheaded-- as the cold takes control
i wish you were here with me, to stop this isolation.
to walk this barren ice-scape with me
and make the ice cold blue sky smile on me
on us
as we tread together into infinity.
