What We Have Become

Warming breath within my hands
 Footsteps gleaming brighter than
 Eyes in the sun - making us go blind
 With so much yet to see
 So much to see... fading
 Breathing deep, within my hands
 The light that warms my skin
 Still you never told me who I am
 I can only try to find myself again
 Burning from beneath my skin
 I feel the frigid numbness
 Deep inside in my mouth...
 Another warm breath in my clasped hands
 I hear my strange breath
 Within my own laugher
 Hypnotic and sublime,
 Leading me deeper within
 Warm breath in my clasped hands
 Fading footsteps in sunlit paths
 Shifting the delicate balance
 Between two handfuls of earth
