Thaw...

I once could touch
a fragment of a soul.
It sets the whole being afire.

There was awe and childlike wonder
for the passion of life.
There was calm and serenity
in the quest of unfulfilled destiny,

I once could reach
the essence of a mind.
It blazes with a spirit so strong.

But,
a wintry wind of change blew
and left in its wake
A chilled denizen of time unrecorded
a hardened shell of existence.

Cold...
I cannot no longer find a spark
to break the icebergs.

Glaciers are mountains...
I cannot thaw.
