Snowy Banks and Mountains
Unfold now, the antiquity of a memory
lost in the snowy banks and mountains called home
You were there in the waiting
with eyelashes covered in jewels of snow
Long arms were extended towards me
You were the gate and I was the key
Running to you, cold slush filled my boots
and I fell into a pile, face first
A bird sounding laugh errupted your chest
but only red dared bud from my cheeks
You held me like a child and an infant I was
We stared at the sky for eternity
Before we left, our fingers and noses were numb
When we said our goodbyes
it hurt more than the chill
that had grown on my spine
Now it hurt the same when you left again
Only this time you could not come back
We were both the memories of a place called home
Now, you can watch over me once more
When I am running to you through the snow
