Words Long Overdue:
A starry night caresses a young man’s heart
As he sits pondering, wandering from town to town
Letting his thoughts settle on ashy faces,
Scarred hands, broken backs, and clipped wings.
He floats weightlessly through lush gardens,
Silent steeples, distant fields
And familiar canyons.
While gently drifting like a lily on the tide
He waits,
And watches,
And waits.
His eyes yearn for her:
The rose on her cheek
The star in her eye
And the song that she plays as she strums at his hair;
The scent on her skin
The peace of her touch
And the kiss that she dangles timidly on his lips.
A starry night caresses a young man’s heart
As he sits, floating over the isles of his mind.
