protection

wisdom hairs

blanket newfound talent

from the dissident

mint air

guards

guards against

the frost;

someone’s

misplaced anger

frost

a warm heart

dissolves

a frosty gaze

echos

no one

truly knows

all that echos

within someone’s

shadow

distortions

wreck havoc;

adjust the

lens

mercy

everything is a blur

a blizzard inside

the winds sculpt

terror into mercy

steps

Step into the light

with your lustre and grace;

the world needs you

distance

bridges bring people together

for some

the distance is too daunting

Sturdy bones

Make strong people
