Not Fade Away

These days now have brought 
Our caves and dwellings to mass.

All I see 
.. Burrows to the sand
…Nests in the trees
…. Slumbers in the land
Natures unknown, for dreams surpass.

Perhaps one night  the willful waves 
should tire and settle into stillness…  

While maybe this season. leafs cling to oak parents
 with a sleepy soulful stubbornness .

And lets say the rain refuses to jump
bringing clouds reciprocate to a less thunder!

Leading into a day the grass stops growing 
giving us a lack of measurement to life's wonder.

Then one fall ,hearing no more of the rustles,
Or of the arms dueling and the sways,

for lastly ...The cease.... it has become

in forgetting , never to sleep more than a dreams need
                  And never ever let it fade away.
