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...

My shining star,
When the night is late...

She shrieks within the confines of the night,
Her hopes and dreams crushing, as if her bones...

Loving her is like reading a book.
Each day that passes is a new adventure...

She fakes her smile for those she loves
And quietly counts the minutes go by...

Darkness cascades down a chilled window
As lantern light illuminates from within...
