There once was an extravagant tree
Strong and tall with...

The wind whispers a song so exuberantly beautiful
As the moon and stars waltz within an ebony sky...

Words hover on trembling lips
While the heart yearns for a love...

Night cascades over the horizon,
Elegantly reclaiming its throne...

Her footsteps are already worn
Into the ground that leads away...

A limp hand reaches into the void
That wraps around a crumpled form...

I stare into the silence
While I contemplate what I've feared...

Let me fly
Amongst my birds...

I -
A foolish poet...

A stolen soul
And a heart to match...
