Unsettled Roots

  You stand

naked but oblivious

      until the frost clings to your limbs

  as I once clung to memories.

Don’t you long to be free

     of them, those eyes of fallen angels?

They hide your potential,

  burying it beneath layers of ice

                 and seasons of change.

If you had the ability to think

      and the patience to listen,

   I could wipe away those tragic tears.

            Instead you wilt,

     weeping a silent solace

where only seraphim fly.
