Hayden Winston

Come in, set your burdens down.

High above the world,
Restless thoughts lull for a moment.

Just thick white smoke and ocean blue,
Dancing in the sky.

High above the world, not a worry or a care.

If only it could feel like this,
be like this forever.

Always bleeding, always aching,
Searing hate and agony,
Drowning in the deepest blue,
And dying to love and be loved,
Until I shed the old me.

Pale blue sky enraptures me

Settled on the hills and plains

Warmth of the Texas sun

On my embattled LA skin

Keep steady, keep your eyes ahead,

Don’t get bogged down in the thick of things.

Darkness can sweep across your soul in seconds, if you allow it,

And chaos will roll in, in waves that seem to have no end,

But just like heavy clouds shrouding the sky,

They dissipate at the smallest touch of light.

roam the mountain
haunt the sky
dance among the leaves
sing a song ’til your breath runs out
feel the dirt on your knees
