Just moments
after wishing
upon a star,
there you were
falling into
my arms

Grounded
generous tree
how your sweeping
spirited branches
never fail
to uplift me

As high as one can climb
just before the first trickle
of a nose bleed
stealing what oxygen
is left for others
within the circulating
frost of thin air

How deep the freeze
of
narcissism
can evacuate one's
soul
