The Journey

January 20, 2021

Wind bites my face

frosty eaves lead the way

while a silver hollow

awaits the rest that

will never come


My restless footsteps line the ground,

the trail of a tired soul

who wanders the Earth

alone


it is so cold

so cold and

so lonely

and so frozen

so cold that snow glitters like sun

even during the night


stars

I cannot see

anymore

but I try

because the memory

of those twinkling lights

cannot disappear

from a sad

bitter

shadow


my eyes lift up to the sky

where the call of traveling birds

begin


Wingtips drift up to sky,

the waxy crescent of the moon

flying above the frozen world.
