xLx's blog: "Of The Elements"

The sun

Heated and luminous

Scorches my sleep-crusted eyelids

Daring me to see

The dawn

Bright and fierce

Mocks my tremulous hopes

Forsaking all my dreams

The mist

So thick it blocks all light

Lies heavily upon my soul

Drenching all warmth

The earth

Barren, charred, defiled

Embraces my future

Promising eternity
