[[[[[[Liquid Sky]]]]]

The night overcast with patched darkness

Shades of purple and black whirlpool above.

Starlight beacon illuminates still snow,

Subtle motion mirrors the stars’ glow.

Flowing across its soft sky beds, as the

Flakes of white crush under my body’s fall.

The free snow engulfs my jacket, and its

Icy sting gradually fades away.

A single being in a sea of cold.

Slowly absorbed by the embracing snow,

Into the Arctic quicksand I descend.

Fragile crystals compress like spongy foam,

My hands slide through as if slicing water,

Swimming happily through the yielding clouds.

———————————-

When that icy mountain is mirrored here,

In my mind, the city’s smoke quickly fades,

Not even white noise can infect the calm.

—————————-

The specks of color, scattered far above,

Pierce the nebulous haze of my conscience.

The hallowed mountain helps me find my words

Sounds I make echo only to myself.

The glittering ground dances with starlight

I can close my eyes, all philosophy

Is dulled by that frigid, solid ocean.

Secluded from day’s stormy maelstrom, in

This walled garden, strewn of ice and twilight.

Society is but a memory.

A blissful Zen of vivid expression?

Achieved in enlightened tranquility,

In perfect sync with these immortal walls…

—————————

The peak seems to break the empyrean sphere,

And looks upon the formidable ice.

Juxtaposition of light and darkness,

What could craft such dynamic a contrast

Of sheen and shadows?

Infused with thought, yet it freezes away,

Such has been the awesome awakening.

My rage is chilled, my temper is mellowed

Burning desires fully extinguished.

As it can all be ended by a hand of ice.

When weathering fierce, impbumable storms,

Yield: consider the wind, flying through space-

The angry lightning and the peaceful snow.

Remember, the ordeal shall always end

When the snowflake glides onto Earth.

Give pause – but not to stop, wonder, and stare

Instead channel your calm, focus, and feel

If it’s a snowstorm, know the difference.

The sky’s symphony of light, all notes

Play upon the radiant, impressive ice.

Unknown to man, Nature lives unhindered

When heaven’s curtain closes.
