Humming Streams

Hollows of anxieties dwell
next to a frivolous stream,
grey rolling stones in drizzles,
scattered ashes from glowing ember.

Oh! Ballads descend stealthily
sprinkled along Luna's wings,
they shimmer along the coast
dissolving in whispering mist.

I watch them blanket the stream
in patterns of blue humming pearls,
familiar memoirs bridge my worlds
I stand on a bridge fusing my breath
visible pain blending with invisible cure.

I've been on a journey tracing these dreams
holding a thread of frozen hopes,
closer they seem, farther they move..
I chase along stranded trenches
soothing trails of humming streams.

Very beautiful and imaginative writing, my dear friend. You continue to amaze and inspire! I love the lines "familiar memoirs bridge my worlds" and "closer they seem, farther they move.." There's a sad and poignant tone to this one. Congratulations on your first place win ~ John
