Burn

You lie in the snow, cold but not dead Stare into the sun, long since its last heat Feel the freeze burn skin Salt your open wounds A burning desire clears your eyes A willful air fills your lungs You choke your first breath of wildfire and ocean's depth Climb out of your hole, see your spirit take form This world of cold stone gives nothing in return To those who sleep while the restless burn There are the few driven to flame Most are content to drown in the wake of dreams The trail lies overground Across the years fade out of light Ever growing dim to an age in the dark Grasp from your soul, don't let it steal your eyes
