Waiting arms

Clasp of silvers twice as thin as each other

Both flat to end in its impact

Its echo does not repeat but lingers like static that makes you think of gold.

Drifting in an ascending melody that

Climbs the senses in your ears as much as your skin.

 

They lead us steadily

To the edge of the mountains and then stops abruptly.

Stopped incredibly as if it's afraid and timid.

Strings play so thinly as each are all skinny.

A miracle moving like smoke and gas welcomes her.

 

Slow dance in arpeggios, a glimpse of perfection for harmony, tip by tip

And in her quiver

She laments she'll wait forever.

 

Forever it may be til she is in the arms of the lover.

For the end of all thousand Decembers and Januarys

Undyingly and endlessly.

Anywhere you go

Seek the thunder you wander far and near, wide and narrow.

 

Until I hear you sigh

Until you stop holding your breath under the brim of our wishing well.
