Memory in dissipation, like the hoarfrost’s delicate cling The supplemental envelopment of winter’s prosthetic embrace In exchange for the fire’s warmth, I delve into memory Nostalgia replaced hope as reality replaces dreams The spruce, snow weighted As my troubled heart succumbs to burden The saplings crushed beneath the snow fall As my recollection is obscuring In white wash I'm saturated and satiated by its allure The nothingness drowns out the loss known Before this frozen world This dormant slumber In peace and waiting Laid in repose For breath abating In stillness seen And frigid fingers Where aspiration is frozen And memory lingers Crystals cling upon wintering larch Roots encased in a tomb of snow The shrouds of ice in a world of stasis Where green has faded and will not grow The haunting spectres of life and love lost Break the crypt of the past To roam free the frozen world To roam free at last
