Snow falls like delicate distress
Dictating fluctuations in reason
As reminders of yesteryear
Fade away.
Lightly coated epiphanies
Struggle to reach the ground
And connect with forlorn convictions
Convinced of conditions
Unfavorable, yet kind.
And simple rhythms evolve
Into something a little more complex
Than second nature
Or comforting alibi.
We trudge through built up recognition
Cognizant of our decisions
But fully capable
Of the compartmentalization
Of our souls.
The uncouth, ill advised reminders
Are unwelcome
Yet burrowing, they remain
Permanent residents
In our eyes.
Mirror reflections of our deceptions
And lies refracted in melted crystal.
Fill the air with the breath of your denial
And fog the windows of their
Misconceptions
Then blame them for ignorant
Intent.
Till roads are free again
To carry us away
From the prison you maintain.
