Cold

If cold is only an absence of heat and warmth How can I feel so full of warmth inside and be tormented by heat on the outside yet still sculpt intricate flakes- crystals colder than cold itself turning the warmest rays into vapour.


If darkness is only the absence of light Why does the universe keep expanding? Stars can never be bright enough even when they burn the brightest Darkness still fills the night Flaming stars reduced to a flicker.


If sorrow were only the absence of joy A heart could heal with flickers of smiles and icicles of pain turning empty spaces into dance floors Flashing lights would lead broken corpses in time with the beat of the hearts.


And yet somehow, they come together and fall apart all together- all at once! And maybe the laws do guide them all. Maybe sorrow and joy do live and breathe in the same summer and winter Maybe they sleep together in Under the stars, and wake apart in the night. Maybe they do dance together one leading another changing rhythms as they move Maybe they do, follow the rules.
