Ice Skater
Cold and silent, the skyline is bright
The traveler relives in his mind an old sound
Glowy greens and blues are in sight.
All of his memories, were they always so round?
The uneven path on the cratered pools of dark
Skid his foot on the surface and in grace he leapt
This motion would be the end to life’s arc
He surrendered to the dark thoughts that crept
As soon as he landed, a tune, dormant, emerged
His feet synced up seamless, and the tune grew
The omnipotent melody and motions soon merged
How high he flies up with movements so few
Free and in rhythm, his body is his speaker
Cathartic and bittersweet his memories would soon be
The once ruling calamity in reaction grew weaker
The man on the moon realizes he is free
