light through the glass / to wake whistling and shoot the
mockingbird / takes longer to warm a bed than / with two / one
and one forever / alone a promise to keep / you safe from / him
you / safe from you

in turn / the moon a wall / sunbeams penetrate blue / lively laughter
for once now / never again

joyous loops / (sensuous sputtering) to / life as we see it / but love
as we / plead remains (fault of the tried pleads guilty) /
silent

months return / in spiteful presence call / back the rain time /
rages over this landscape our / ravaged faces / weeping with
relief / as they pass

I miss you / so far from / trying to find yourself / lose your / self /
in the trees just / make sure when you / come back / to me / you
remember how wonderful life can be and why you should never
consider / leaving / when I'm waiting for you to knock on my
door

*I miss you too / and it's lonely out in / these woods but I remind
myself / replay your sincerities in my mind when I find myself /
drifting

I'll be home soon / please be there
Please let me know what you think of this piece.
