Rising
I was One
Sometimes I longed for the life I once lead.
It was nothing more than a memory, a grain of sand hidden amidst the desert that I had become. A piece of the wind that slipped through my fingers and sailed away, disappearing just as quickly as I sometimes wished I could, never to be found no matter how long I searched. There was much time to search, you see, between all of it. Long days, endless nights. Through winter, summer, spring and fall, with snow falling through me and rain beating against the ground before me. The cold sunk through me and deeper, into something that was nothing, but froze me at the same time. I was one with the seasons, just as the others were. We came together only when needed, never crossed paths, never acknowledged each other. We simply coexisted. Even that was difficult sometimes.
