Many a Mile

Many A Mile


What it means to be loved by the river 
Overflowing with joy , warmth, laughter 
The rain has come 
The sun has gone 
The rays have been delayed 
The only thing that remains is 
The eye of day 
The shoe has walked many a mile
Has torn and gone rough
With plenty a foul
The mountains have risen above the clouds 
Reaching peaks that circle the clouds 
The forest has breathed deep into the atmosphere 
The leaves have swayed to the wind in the air 
The berries ripened with red 
The roses fall to its breath 
Yellow meadows loom with light 
The night sky calm with waves
Soothing its fade
Crystal waters glaze with rain 
Droplets bounce with flare  
The sun dances in the sea
It’s waves stir the breeze 

She’s given call that she could have given
Any more or any less would be forsaken
Her heart at the forefront of her day
Her breath carries all that may live
Her touch is the pinnacle of the wave 

How does it feel to not see you next to me
To not feel the wind in the breeze 

If tomorrow never comes
I hope the sun dances the upon your way 

Black lace veil draped over the face 

Net yarn trail down the chin
Providing shade 

Fallen roses 
Sunken in the vase
Dried , crinkled and aged 
Darker, intense, estranged 

What it is to be no more
What it is to be subtle and phased 
Caged in but never replaced

What it is to be taught 
And extend from the ways 
Expectancies and common caves
