You* stand there - naked & exhausted - a silhouette at twilight; Bowing to the end of seasons as a final gold tear spins... down into shadows that lengthen, on this brighter day. . . I will remember, creaks out from an open spread of arms in a vast greying sky; Heard, by listening ears, which embrace each darkness. Every barest recollection -of ever changing filigree falling silently to loom, (hungry worms feast far below) where once warmth shimmered in gentle breezes- Alive forever within* *the sleep of our trees.
