Ice blue wings

 

 

 

 

Ice blue wings

 

Staring across frozen fields

Fingertips fumble empty pockets

Weather grounds hopes on the tarmac

as all flights of fancy are cancelled

 

Fragile wings shiver in indigo mist

Kaleidoscopic ice forms on pastel fears

Dark lines separate floating colors

Broken hearts form where they once flew

 

Gusting winds of typhonic swirls

sway branchless trees in silent solitude

Rhythmic movements’ haphazardly

encase weeping angels within winter’s darkness

 

Transparent teardrops fall in brittle cheeked stripes

No two alike, yet the same sorrows fill

crystalline snowdrifts on distant horizons,

as my footprints disappear...as did you

 

Knee deep in slippery desperation

Skating through this blinding blizzard

Eyes burning on frigid visions, searching

for those tiny ice blue wings…

This is really gorgeous, of course I am partial to the ice and the blue but those delicate wings and those tears each unique cannot help but make the reader stop and take a breath for we have gazed upon true beauty.
