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...
