Nihilist

I fall through a million dimensions

With ten exhales against the cold, slow winds

Flowing around a field to lift thick flakes of snow

Off the infinite earth of my mind

A hollow sun touches clear, white skies

That reflects the pale sickness of my reality

I call to Aries

The name I was given, but not at birth

I hold the power of war

With intentions that rest with the angels

I rest my body

Coated with the gleaming care

Of solace and protection

With the branches of life

Hanging over my head

To reach the furthest futures

From the decisions of the past

Overlapping each other and racing to spread

All coming from the stump of childhood

The beginning years

Innocence

To the dark corners of the world

Now

I need to find out how to change now

I watch the events that take place

Within the tower my sister and I remain

In different realities

Different words

Different choices

Each one leading to another end

They all end

But I'm looking for the future

That reaches the furthest

For every outcome I see

Follows her footsteps outside the warmth

Of the skyscraper above the abyss

Melting the horizon with the night sky

And leaving once more

Where she doesn't

Where she stays

A gem found but not taken

While it sits for eons

Under stone and earth

Shining against sunbeams

Forever to be appraised

In its glory and unique beauty

And never to be buried
