Floral Cluster II: Wilderness Lyrics

Chilling prominence…
This vast blanket of snow extends.
Branches outstretched,
the trees reach for me.

Their icy touch longs for my warmth.

Stirring
is the hallowed wind.
Sighs and whispers
make way for obdurate ire.

Nature's wrath is meant for me.

A blanket of mist
becomes my surroundings.
Evoked by a cruel draft,
I'm devoured by this boundless screen.

Shards of ice,
whipped from trees,
break my skin.

This gust sweeps me
onto the snow.
I dye it red.

The wind swallows my cries
as I plead for life.
All I hear is laughter.

…And still they reach for me.
Fellow victims of this arctic unrest.

Panic sets in
as the threat of death looms over me.
I'm trailed by streaks of red
as I crawl to be free.

This frozen wilderness
won't take me.

Trees scatter to reveal
as I reach an opening.
I run toward my discovery
as the world fades from my sight...
