First Edit:
The Search
Her footprints lead nowhere.
You already know this, but still
you stop and consider:
sunlight screams a warning about day's end,
the wind pushes you back like a guardian angel,
ice hides beneath a white blanket,
untouched as your skin when lying alone.
Your body pulses in defiance, sweat pools
in places you almost forgot existed.
You start to walk, your decision made.
