An inner reflection of Beauty
gazed down upon us all
I could see such wondrous things
from a giants shoulder so tall
Climbing up all these branches
hands as sticky as the tree
But I could see him smiling
his warmth spread onto me
And as he stood motionless, in a daze
the wind sweeped through his hair
I climbed down off his branches
as if nothing could compare
He gently stroked my cheek,
as if to say goodbye
gazing down into my soul
I could hear a silent cry
But as he faded into nothing
I looked down on his grace
his eyes turned steely grey
as a smile spread across his face
And as I turned to walk away
tears formed in my eyes
but he wasn't there to comfort me
I could see only open skies
Now walking down the path
tears from my eyes fled away
one big step, one big sigh
then his branch shook as if to say
One Final Sad Goodbye
