Alone

Out here, there is no thought
The loudest voice is your heart
pumping blood, the sound of dreams
blowing sails towards hidden seams

In this vacuum, realms converge
in slow step with muted dirge
Ballrooms full of bartered souls
dancing tangos on the coals

Loud, your footsteps on the snow
down the frozen path you go
Faces sealed beneath the ice
Eyes of those that paid the price
