Impressions

Found amidst this winding
Wandering, rambling way
Out amongst these rushing
Cascading words we say

I'll catch them for a moment
Leave their impressions here
They flit away so quickly 
Taking years to draw them near

Lost without conviction 
For how am I to know
If this is where I should be
Or if that's the way to go?

I'll release these trepidations 
Let them pass without a trace
They've tendencies to linger 
But we've learned to drive them from this place

Here in endless wonder 
Or here but for a day 
Lost amidst this spinning swarm  
Found in the words you say

Embers

Let the thoughts come slowly 
Ignite one simple spark 
Feel the warmth surrounding 
Enticing light from the dark

If the world is not kind today 
Slipping deeper into cold
Catch your hand in mine 
Heat can be ours to hold 

Amidst these dancing shadows 
Nervousness and doubt 
Grasp my hand and know
Embers lie waiting to lead the light out

With Only Air

Gritty little words that grate 
On prickling proud ears 
Serenade your sense of self 
Softened by steal shears 
Inflicting tiny ghastly wounds 
Paring to Compare 
I to you to find me lacking 
Nigh a slight with only air 

Grown from discontented gripe 
Nurtured by their heed 
It was only ever just 
Gossamer whispers meant to feed
Hushed feelings of distaste 
Too ingrained to need backing
Living to compare 
You to the world in fear you're lacking
