I see mystically
Into a crystalline future
Majestic snow flakes
Silver frost, predestined
The magnificent ghosts
Of amber scarlet
Tragic autumn leaves descending
Decaying, penetrating
The senses of the portrayer
In this haze
In this mist
In amidst
The ice fields cracked
Chasing deer across winter
White silver, gray, cutting
Cursing this human skin
My feet frozen
My footprints lost
I abscond
I abdicate
I lose control quietly
To another moon
Where the deer drop their horns
And I lose myself
Amid the oak and cottonwood
The long thin islands
This lifetime of beautiful
Obscured memories
That slip and slide
Through this Milky-Way
Galaxy tonight
