I fall before you
Here I am...
A softened light illuminates the ground
a sharp but crisp hollowing sound...
Using words to shelter from the rain,
my eyes glisten and I forget the pain...
Close my eyes take me to a land beyond my own,
where I can be the only human left alone...
His walk is ancient
His step is slight...
Whisper delicate hourglass,
sand upon fingers; birch of sway...
It was passed in families
Since most ancient times...
A castle
Pristine against the sky...
I lay here in the cold wet grass and stare...
at the Moon. I become entranced as the crickets...
Take note of the fire,
See how it burns...
Sweet whispers in the wind
loving words of caress...
Where
Has the time gone...
