Atmosphere ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #32

There is a mood
No
An atmosphere
To existence

An atmosphere I choose

An atmosphere within which
All events occur
And through which
All events are perceived

It helps, from time to time
When changing the way the world sees
To change the world it sees

I leave behind
Remnants of the past
Which moulder and decay
In lingering neglect

When I return
To pick them up
They are no longer
The same moments

There is nothing simpler
Nor more beautiful
Than two kids and a puck
On a small patch of ice
Cleared of snow
On a frozen lake
Anywhere in Canada

I cannot find balance
Without loving darkness
In equal measure to the light

In the mirror
It was just the one tear
In the many streaks of mascara
Which struck her… wrong

The tear was wrong
The conditions were wrong
Her love was wrong
He was wrong

Her life… was wrong

Cold clear air
A crystalline atmosphere
Seeming so fragile
It might shatter with the slightest blow

Low fog formed over the riverbed
Where icy water
Still warmer than air
Vapourised and froze
To drift over the lake’s recessed floor

She saw me
She saw right through me
To the other side of a nothingness
I wasn’t able to fill
Wasn’t able to see in myself

And I couldn’t see her at all
Well, what I saw was fractured
Misaligned
But that wasn’t her
It was all I could see

Do you want to know peace?
Be peace
Do you want to have peace?
Give peace

What is peace?
