Beneath Amethyst Skies
in the depths of my mind
i still see you there
you aged with grace
like the flight of swan
on the horizon
of amethyst skies
as they blend crimson
beneath the setting sun
i saw your wings fold
falling silent against your chest
as you took your last whispered breath
beneath the featherless shadows of time
leaving me alone
stranded on the sands
that death robs
when the hourglass
of time stops
i still count the grains
washed upon the shores
as the ocean lashes back
in salted sprays
upon my sunken face
i look back
as my footsteps fade
beneath the rhythm
of its calmer waves
realizing i stand alone
breathless in the expansion
of mind's hold
