Fragile

Canaan


Fragile 
Immobile 
For endless 
lapses of time 

Fragile 
Immobile 
in an ice cold night 
Nothing I perceive 
While I hold my breath 
and see this life of mine 
destroyed 
and burnt to ashes. 

Fragile 
Immobile 
With a thousand winds 
around me, whispering 
words of comfort while 
they blow away the sands 
of my poor 
throbbing heart. 

Fragile 
Immobile 
For neverending 
lapses of time 
I dare not move 
swallow my breath 
and my desires 
for fear that a sound 
could break the spell 

Of these frail moments 
Of a life I no longer understand 
Of this pure perception of me
