Spring beyond me...

Spring beyond me...
Frozen in a moment I breathe in the sun,
Like a trapped rose in a glass,
I trace the edges... Fine and stern,
where weakness holds memories of the past,

My eyes paint a picture of myself,
Holding the entire world,
A storm in a dream, about to break,
I live for the wonders I have heard,

Days don't carry the whispers I long for,
The noises halt in my mind,
I crave the peace the darkness brings along,
Where shadows cradle me through the night,

This world can be cruel, a hard place to bloom,
Crushing my soul as it breathes,
A home for my heart, a place with warm hues,
I long for a spring beyond me...
