Whiteout Torrent
Blistering sheets of sting
Sizzle and pop on skin
With purity you sing
Arias spark vision
To tip that halo ring
Fortitude climbs within
Shivers thump open blood
Repelling lethargy
Adrenaline’s fright thud
Warns death stalls next to me
As my feet slide like mud
Skies push with gravity
In your storm I read codes
Difficult to ignore
Confetti blurs the roads
Man campaigns to restore
Future anguish explodes
At oblivion’s door
Forgotten refugees
Tossed in this epic spin
Propel along a sneeze
To shatter the push pin
Suppressing our disease
Cycles shall be broken
That wonderment of youth
Crunches under staunch feet
Temptation hides bold truth
Bargaining with deceit
Your legacy of proof
Strips away my conceit
Treads and prints stamped ahead
Portend treacherous foes
Timelines easily read
Through these blustery snows
I spy sin’s furtive thread
Your light serves to expose
