Oh, I won't be silent & I won't let go

I will hold on tighter 'til the afterglow - Ed Sheeran

 

I remember when summer

Kissed my walking skin warm

Now it seems eternity claims

My body breath spirit brain

 

In the silence of tonight

I will myself to stand upright

Startled slip then almost fall

Into the gravity of it all

 

Angels on the archipelago

Devils in the pale ice below

Head to feet to frozen toes

Light the fire, melt the snow

 

I burn like a beacon in the afterglow.
