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.
