Dusk,
An orchard in the sky,
Of clementines,
grapes,
plums,
peaches,
fruit abounding,

Families,
mothers,
fathers,
little brothers,
babies,
All stir
In the direction of
Laying down,
Sleep,
Rest,

Every family,
picks fruit from the orchard,
One by one,
until there’s
Nothing
but a blueberry
canvas,
with stars filling in

All heads
Hit pillows
Blankets
Fold over shoulders
Eyes close to
loved ones,
stuffed creatures,
and favorite toys

They all
give in
to the steady
Cadence
of nights
in Suburbia

Your eyes tell,
Your smile shows,
That you wished to give us time,
To start again,
To love again,
Under different circumstances,
With no limits,
With no hindrance,
But with the same person,
With the same feelings,
A chance to live
A chance to love,
Eternally.

Your eyes that reflected the light from the moon,
Your smile that comforts me,
Your gentle embrace for not letting me drown,
Your kiss that made me cry,
Your words that made me fall,
Your actions that assured me,
My heart is beating so fast,
So fast that it aches,
And it aches because I knew,
That this memory I have with you,
Of you embracing me,
Of you assuring me,
Of you comforting me,
Of you loving me,
In this sea of calmness,
Under this beautiful and bright moon,
Will slowly and painfully go.

a mind full of chatter.
a heart full of grief.
i need a moments rest
but even sleep escapes me.
