Frosted Embers

You instilled cadence in darkness I dislodged trust, while trying look for brightness You filled our togetherness with utopian dreams I dug into my solitude, heralding dystopian nightmares Picking me up, you gathered my flinders Jettisoning hope, I dispersed all of myself With your words, you moved us up with certitude I maintained my silence, enswathed by doubt You’ve put in your best to sustain balance I tipped the scales with my own baggage  You’ve ventured into a million storms for me I’ve nurtured my indolence You chased my embers lighting up the night sky I stay put like a frost, muted by the morning glow!     Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
