No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
Words without meaning An open mouth seems empty Trying to express Something that dances lightly Forefront of a clouded heart
A sudden waking From formless blinking through dre… Please, just one more year! Surprised to glance the moon’s fac… An hour before her phase
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
A sudden rain flux A faintly calling whisper To turn off eyelids Yet I cannot shake my dream For just another hour
Flickering between The realms of light and shadow Why not close the shades? Sleep’s alluring charm welcomes Despite such early hours!
The darkest of nights It is on these nights I turn To these keys, clicking Fervently beyond reason Behind safely shadowed doors
The spotlight glares down Bright, bright, sight, sight My cloak swiftly surrounds White, White, Swish, Swish, The fabric shell billows but stays
Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
Red and orange glitter Dancing delicately high Above winding paths Falling to the great grey streams Falling for grace, or duty?
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
My White Cloak Part one: Place Entering day by day (1) Into a place to grow and stay Into the foundational walls of old
Scattering shy leaves Skittering down two by two In Fall’s breeze they sink Forming such a golden path Blind-folded hearts can follow
A natural fog Too tired to remember Dowsing memories Broken alarm clock weeping Woe be to his faint tick, tock
