On the ground in a darkened room

Sighs sent into the phone

Like a teen, but without Radiohead.

In a sea of lost trees

My anchor stuck below.

Gripped by forgotten memories 

Dark and cold dig deep.

Out of air but with stubborn drive

Fighting fear for success.

Its freedom grants a struggle back

And pride at the surface.

10 years and thousands of miles between

Twilight’s swooping sparrows.

I visit a mentor
Memories of breaths taken
Creation of wind.

Relentless gentle snow shower
An emergency for this city

Memories of youth
From the north.
