Sometimes
Just like when
The seasons linger

I slowly find myself
Undercurrent
Within the vortex

Of our time
Come closer
Whisper your name

Lean over
I wish you would stay a little longer
Sink into my ear

Your words I pray
Will keep me safe
And my flesh

A little warmer
The void I sigh
When I hesitate

The cold outside
I will undertake
Otherness

I sense the motion
My catatonic shell
Clad in fire golden gray

To all others
You are a stranger
Veiled in mistery

Uninvited thief
Bringer of light
Drift into night

Soar on the wings of a new dawn
Where winds blow
In houses of hollow

And water runs
Through statues of salt
