cadre of tendrils rooted together
a wan shadow bursts the seams
rent asunder fragments soar
flitting about on a whim
nary the wisps find a home
again among the lines
look not on the
tender fruit
that forms
a supple
silhouette
now revealed
unto innocent
unmarred eyes
finding solace
in redemption
uninhibited
acceptance
reveals
nothing breaths
as shadows meet
and now together
they lie there still
unmoving save the
rise and fall of
peaceful slumber
rested again
in a safe
embrace

this has a wonderfully surreal feel to it, but i think the use of some arcane phrasing slightly interrupts it a bit
"nary the wisps..."
"look not on..."
the last two stanzas are great...
a very fine entry here, can't thank you enough
