Leaking Blue Glass

I catch myself while peering through
gaping into pools of blue
like tiny shards of mirrored glass
betraying torment of the past
Blindly leaking through the gaps
walls of fortitude collapse
grappling the icy tide
immersed beneath where I can't hide
Resist with passion to survive
a testament that I'm alive
I climb to land, there drained I lie
And watch the blood-red clouds float by
soon enough the flood recedes
The waves roll back into the seas
with newfound breath and ache for life
only formed through pain and strife
I rest upon the sunlit sand
And then begin to understand
The battle conquered took the chance
to give myself an inner-ward glance
I look up to the ruby sky
and stare right through my fire blue eyes
