( • black trees of glass • )

My dreams are connected

Just the same as my actions

To the future I was destined to lead

I take myself to a controlled world

One filled with nothing

But snow and ice

A place chilling enough

For you to stand frozen

In fear of the endless fields

The moment you arrive

As the snow falls from the

Clouds of smoke hiding the skies

They bring reminiscence

Of what will happen to the earth

When the stars do the same

The surface of a vast land

Has been covered in a white blanket

With the uproots of black trees

Spreading out from the snow

Made of smooth, frosted glass

Sparkling with the dishonoring

Shame of my mistakes

And to remind me that every branch

Can crack and fall

Within a single heartbeat

becoming an icicle to spiral

freezing the heart in place

and leaving the thump of that beat

the last of its kind

to echo across empty fields

until the dawn burns it away
