So I came to a place
Where eyes spoke softly
I felt the breeze upon my cheek
The lamentations set fire to my presence
Jeweled shadows danced upon the wall
Laughing and skipping to and fro
And the stillness
Gathered all of my thoughts
As if were putting berries in a basket
While the sun blazed upon an icy heart
The northern lights,
Danced across the sky
And I realized with a whispered breath
That I…was still alive
