The Twilight Haze

I wandered among the springtime trees,
and in the stillness they reached out

To touch each feeling within my heart,
giving cover to my doubt

My life sequestered as I walk alone,
past memories deeply felt

The social ramblings of a world at war,
now distanced from itself

Like nothing’s happened they praise the earth,
their blossoms all ablaze

While the quiet thunders upon itself
—inside this twilight haze
