Beside You

I see you resting in a blanket of haze. Suddenly Im here, beside you. With a cluster of wilted flowers at her feet a willow weeps before us. Her tears fall to the earth, her wails race through my hair. My heart plays drums, yours sits in silence. You will never hear me and a sound may not escape me, but you will always listen. I taste the sea upon my lips as I try to say good bye. I place a fresh rose amongst those that wilt in sorrow. A kiss in the wind The drums miss a beat. The willow weeps behind me.
