thirsty darkness

She 

stood aloof
nothing stood in the way of her purpose.
buffeted by the cool winter breeze,
nothing stood but

She

had watched others fall to the whirr
or tumble into thirsty darkness
but she refused to let the world assign her pain.
Her pain was her own.

She

stands calmly, patiently awaiting tomorrow.
will it bring an end or another beginning?
what use in new predictions?
tomorrow we chase the yesterdays
we did not catch today. 
(again.)

She
will herald the end to nothingness
by giving in to it
and tumbling into thirsty darkness
as winter blows itself away

    I really liked this, and "thirsty darkness" was genius.

Too afraid to stand and fight; Too much pride to fly away. Cowardice: immobilize Egos lacking skill to play! Games of conflict can’t be played By those afraid to deal a hand. Flightless birds avoid their call Ostriching heads in the sand.  Thanks, Trifecta for the prompt, which requested an animal name be used as a verb. I figured I might as well ignore the dictionary and make my own...flightless birds have always intrigued me, anyhow.
