the final fading remnants -
Mistress of the forest, She watches intently

as surely as seed becomes flower -
Underneath a twilight moon
my heart and soul silently breaking -

into the the forest of ghostly shadows. -

as nervous souls emerge
into an auspicious calm -
Breathing air that feels like a feathered kiss
-
Friends and strangers who were prepared to make
-
As I sit beside the river bank and watch the ducks take to wing,

Soar........
unto the heavens -
Integrity
casts a solemn shadow -
Cascading fingers that dance upon the shingles

secret desires
kept behind nondescript eyes -
the notion dreams and reality cannot co-exist
