Between the Lines

One by One

I almost saw those snowflakes fly
A brisk cold wind sent Wynter through
A mind of hurt went passing by
Freezing thoughts came into view.

A flake or two brushed onto cheek
Rested, melted, ran as tears
Knees, then buckled, becoming weak
All those years, so many years...

Each day's approach, I try for new
Yet mind and spirit, fill with pain
Defeat comes knocking, wants it's due
The old attacks come back again.

A flake or two, a wondrous feel
Chills the warm, yet melts to tears
Days pass by, a fog of real
All those years, so many years...

One day I'll wake, with smile to see
Forgotten years, that rise in myst
Reigning warmth to comfort me
To softly press my heart with kiss.

And all those years, no longer stay
Crystallized and stored in mind
So many years will melt away
One by one to leave behind...

~Wynter Bliss
