Beyond Life’s Overdrive

My fist is clenched
with fire
raised defiantly at snowflakes

rushing against my strength
in swirls and whirls
for attention

as if I am the sole inhabitant
on planet earth.

I rise to the occasion
wrapping arms around myself
tighten my collar

then struggle
to keep my perspective.

I will not fail to reach
my destination

I will not be deterred from
the vision placed in my heart.

I am strong and able to
dance between snowflakes
my song of escape.
