Chaos

Ego slashed my skin

Harsher than that blade

I employed, to annihilate

Chaos

Ignorance kept me warm

A garden by the fireplace

Clad in sunset hues

Such chaos

I floundered

Amidst great rebellion

To get to my finish flag

But seasons change

Midwinter sang

A beautiful voice

Strip me off my body

Undress my ego

He said

My unclothed being

Won’t shudder in cold

He said

Canopy

Layers of body

I yearn to shed

Or at least explode

Explode into a glittering dust

That of blue, green and red

A desire to be one

One with the droplets of ocean

One with grit and grime

One with the air you breathe

One with the fire you drive

Until then,

You must be my canopy

A musical dive

An infinite depth

My favorite sky.
