The air of Angels from Northern lights
danced around Spirit’s song
whilst he traveled Time searching
for hands to turn back minutes
so her face could be caressed~
one more stroke.
Against his bosom, she slept
without worry of today or tomorrow.
He came back from battle, unharmed
though tales were told otherwise.
Hearsay stopped her Heart
from singing.
Tears trickled through walls, reverberated
into saturated soil which could be heard faintly~
as one treads up the steep staircase,
a lover’s anguished apparition still waits.
