Melting Away

This is Magic she said

I looked inward and saw

The tooth and nail within me

Fading like a summer dream

The narcissus glowed

And I could smell her fragrance

Entering my nostrils

On rays of sunshine

The grass usurps me

Into her folds

And I am wishing stillness

Though my body aches

It also flows with the breeze

On which insects ride

Their small world all about me

And at night I lay there

Anger pussing from my eyes

I am holding my arms

And my hips dig into the ground

Above me flitter bats

And I am slightly distracted

From the disdain that followed me there

My sleep was solid

When usually it remains elusive

Though in the slumber

I seemed to battle the anger

That bubbled up the day before

Triggered from a single point in time

The smallest of edges

Sharp like the teeth of a wolf

And still the sunshine 

Warms the trees and the flowers

They pull me inward

And there is solace there

The anger wiped away

Yet it is known

That the iceberg lingers 

Beneath the surface of my life

So in this warmth

I try and let go

I try and move on

But not until I dive to the depths of 

My frozen castle in the waters of my heart

Bring the sunshine down and within

And shine the light on the rage so deep

It will continue to rule

Like a bat in the shadows

That is barely seen
