A hazy morning light drifts lonely through branches
Shadows of silence cower undertow
Wilted flowers whose beauty lingers,
Rocky soil.
A thought of the past pulls at me.
Rivers of hot wind push me further away
Like breath, stolen
Lifeless and unending it finds me
The scent of flames
Charred thoughts linger
Hot futures come
Silent shadows scream
Cloudy skies ****

A hazy morning light drifts lonely through branches
Shadows of silence cower undertow
Wilted flowers whose beauty lingers,
Rocky soil.
A thought of the past pulls at me.
Rivers of hot wind push me further away
Like breath, stolen
Lifeless and unending it finds me
The scent of flames
Charred thoughts linger
Hot futures come
Silent shadows scream
Cloudy skies ****
