We Would Still Seek

Dance in the darkness, my sweetest nocturne While the trees swing their billowing arms round And you sing to the sky without a sound To shake from slumber, each flower and fern. You call to each shadow with hungry eyes Penetrating each ghost hidden in leaves. An aching, longing sigh for what you’ve seen Always rooted beneath the vacant sky. The Earth spins around underneath my feet But your loneliness kept me bound to land. Caught deep in your world, captive right in hand, But we need each other to feel complete. With voices so raw we can’t even speak; Even if they could hear, we would still seek.
