Priceless scents breathe the air with insight
A tranquil office with cascading floods of data
Hope patterning itself through fire and rain
Will the ice melt and reveal jagged layers of answers and solutions?
Or spill blunders, covering the exposed snow
Shall abstract truths be uncloaked, or left unknown
Knowledge dates back to centuries, giving paths to unfold
Salt mixing, glass still contorted
Only glints of stars within the galaxy have been breached ashore
Tested through weeks while sheathed from eternity
Scenarios brought to life through colorful veils
Illusions removed, core truth remaining
Unraveling echoes of tattered remains
Footprints layered back, far enough to discover hidden tracks
Yet hidden waves scythed to surfaces unknown, desires for more
