Come share what the day sows
Vibrant walks on a whim...

Heartbeats for something that's not
Lingering shadows, limbering thoughts...

My breath escapes me
As the rivers steady flow...

The summer, the follies, the turns
Your words, your feelings, your burns...

The darkness of the night
Coupled with a bonfire so bright...

I stand here waiting for your reply
Foolishly expecting a quick "hi&quot...

Sometimes we handle our affairs with little tact
Maybe that's the reason why I keep looking back...

In the wee hours of the night
Is when the soul takes flight...

I wonder what truly happens
The instant we leave this earth...

You used to light me within
The kerosene to fuel the fire...

Accept the highs with the unexpected lows
the mere reality of how life goes...

The empty shell of my former self
Like the barrenness of a dry well...
