Winter Embers

Embers fall upon my frigid skin.

My frigid skin; cold as Winter. 

This feeling is 

unfamiliar.

I’ve been numb for so long.

A nocturnal knight 

searching my whole life 

for modest light,  

Let it break the twilight sky 

in the early morn. 

Standing still on Earth’s axis, 

right my passage; 

the world is wrong. 

I can do what I want. 

The future, I own. 

Embers fall upon my frigid skin.

My frigid skin; cold as Winter.

This feeling is 

unfamiliar.

I’ve been numb for too long.
