Darkness falls upon thine skies, revealing secrets hidden behind your eyes.
Spreading and growing, you transform to new;
changes in the landscape where birds once flew.

The sun is gone, the wind now blows calm,
and undeterred by distractions, your children and I sit humble and strong.
Curiously wandering through the structures of stone,
you bestow your breath upon me;  I breathe it as my own.

Sharing and living each gift you bring,
together we listen close as the song birds softly sing.
With cold air coming, and the moon on the rise,
I now depart and leave thy truth where it lies,
in hopes that strangers may find it,
welcoming you warm, into their lives.

Not often is it that our minds are allowed to rest.
Even in darkness among trees where we can hear only nature's breath.

It is late now,
long past midnight.
I've come to ask and listen,
maybe gain some insight.

The wind was softly blowing,
as I stumbled upon your frame.
The night it became silent,
as I heard you call my name.

I hear the words you are speaking,
but my thoughts they feel quite full.
I've longed to hear your message,
so I ask you to speak slow.

You ask me to close my eyes,
and to forget the future and past.
You assure me that I can trust you,
and that you will clear my thoughts at last.

My body it is forgotten,
as I welcome you into my soul.
My thoughts they are mere memories,
as I allow you full control.

The place we begin our journey,
is a forest and you are young.
There we grew in harmony,
with the animals and friends you were among.

Years of peace have come to pass,
as we watched the creatures frolic in the grass.
Many years have gone too fast,
Many years, too good to last.

One cold morning the men they came,
armed with axes, saws and chains.
There we stood frozen in fear,
beside your friends and family so dear.
Souls tortured from sadness and pain;
The deed was done, and many were slain.

Scared and mournful, we stood alone.
Your heart left as scarred as your once beautiful home.

With loved ones separated by concrete and steel,
We were now surrounded by that which can not feel.

Time went on, but memories remain,
of a life so full of heartache,
no language could explain.

Our journey comes to end now,
and you have one last request.
You ask a simple favour before you come to rest.

I feel a gust of wind blow,
and down falls a seed.

"Please plant this within others, so that my soul may be freed."

As I think about what is important to me most,
I want to kiss you, and hold you close.
Love is a feeling that never sleeps.
I feel this first hand as my heart softly weeps,
releasing this tender sadness it keeps.
I sit and watch this river softly flow,
as drops of magic glisten and glow.
Shining bright until they stop,
they bring me back to our unforgettable walk.
Filled with moments of bliss, sadness, and fear,
It almost feels as if you were here.
I listen close to her gentle voice,
but I'd much rather yours if I had the choice.
Her beauty is something that cannot be explained,
but for you my darling, I would most certainly trade.
Happiness is simple to find, when you are near, or on my mind.
Even when war is happening outside, within you I am able to hide.
However far you may be, your love is easy to see.
I feel your soul,
as it lets me know,
I am no longer alone.

Although your existence is strange.
Your persistence will never change.
Staying constant as the world continues to rearrange.

Balancing across a thin plank.
Above you a picture of color.
Below a canvas blank.
Undecided whether to oppose or thank.

If I had the cure, I'd stop the lies,
and dry your sweet innocent eyes.
But locked away my sadness hides.

Sunken in this sea of tears.
Burning away my soul, it sears.
But you seem to extinguish the flames,
with the silly way we speak each other’s names.

From our window, I see you watch the world turn.
It's strife and chaos, none of your concern.
May your heart continue to stay the same,
no matter your days, age, or what you learn.

When things are unclear, and you are unable to see.
Just simply say my name, and take a walk with me.

Spending my time pondering your curious wonder.
Invisibly working hard to fix my blunder.
And dreading the day that we must sunder.

As your mind is learning and travelling along,
know that nothing you do is ever wrong.
For it is these mistakes that will make you strong.

Restless nights for an eager soul,
At times it may seem that life moves too slow.
But remember such as the flower,
Beautiful things take time to grow.
Please never forget how much your big brother loves you so.

And when light is darkness, and darkness is light,
things are cold, out of grasp and sight.
I'll be your sun, and shed you light.
Because my sister it is my utmost pleasure,
to watch you shine bright.

She is but an angel,
and this I know,

For how much I love her,
she may never know,

With love's seeds placed upon my lips,
I prepare to sow,

In hopes that within her heart,
these seeds may grow.
