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...
Warm nights bring soft breezes
As I stare out a darkened window...
I wander throughout the forest of dreams
And come across a hidden clearing...
Rain caresses away the loneliness
Its droplets as soft as a lover's fingertips...
The thunderous pound
Of feet running over ground...
She fakes her smile for those she loves
And quietly counts the minutes go by...
Her eyes house the souls
Of those she has contained...
Gates of ivy and moss welcome me home
As I'm embraced by the loving tears of weeping...
