Love is like an ember
Burning in the fire
It’s something that's remembered
Something that’s transpired

Too many remember now
What I wished them to forget
Now I make myself a vow
That I must soon onset

The vow is this
To forget the one you love
For we will not soon kiss
I shall rise above

I know that it is over
But I wish you the best in life
Be as lucky as a four leaf clover
I hope you can feel the knife

the owl watches
quiet
a sentinel  
its eyes
flashlights in the darkness
its wings
its feathery cloak
its talons
the weapon of choice

run
from the fox
from the world
never stop running
because when you do
the predator will catch you
so watch your back
don’t stop running
and never give up
the fox is inevitable
but to keep fighting
is courage in the face of that

footprints on the beach
they intersow the sand
if people are smart
that is all they’ll leave behind  
no bottle caps on the shore
no bags in the trees
among the branches and leaves
no plastic inside fish
no matter who you are
you can make this wish true

the trees are reaching
clawing for you
ready to embrace
trees whisper their welcome
trees whisper your worth
they can’t wait until you’re theirs
in their clutching arms
the waiting is killing them
burning their very soul
ebbing at their patience
taking its deadly toll
you know you want to come
to this quiet place  
where dreams run wild
possibilities are pondered
and tomorrow seems way off yonder
so come
they’re waiting for you

leaves fall like rain
dancing in the wind
cover yourself
make a cloak of them
then run
let the leaves trail behind you
let them fall off
let them go
you don’t have to hold onto things forever
Don’t take literally, look below the surface.

— The End —
