But, To Sigh

Cellophane moonbeams play havoc with eyes as the shadows eat daylight all gone; step further inside, it's the truth we can't hide place your baggage out front on the lawn. ~ A dry leather jacket with pockets sewn shut we've all fallen short and have sinned; memories turn billowy before they all fade let's all honor their escort, the wind! ~ Teared laughter echoes, coercing the night to "chill up" on the back of my neck; No-one came with me, I'm beside myself with too much to lose on this trek. ~ Don't be surprised should a fragrance waft in and confuse both your heart, and your mind; just be who you are, and be mindful of self you're the leading authority we could find. ~ Tempt me not, early vagabond; I'll choose not your gold mourn in private, but it makes little sense; time is too short so, don't whittle her down and be careful, if riding the fence! ~ Softly off in far distance, the moon is allowed to show each of night's stars flying, high; before the dew's watered, the shadows run free their most difficult chore's....but, to sigh.
