Memories pose as mist above the river,
Haunting as they hang on the wind.
No stars to freckle the navy blue
And tonight, no sign of the yellow moon.
But morning rays will light up the spiders' webs
That lace the window.
I'm watching shadows crawl
As the dusk falls in silence,
My mind stretching with illusions.
I know the heat we've had this summer
Means that change is on the way,
We'll raise our faces to the rain
And wash the tension from our bones.
I turn my back to the sun,
And let my shadow lead me East
Towards the day that will come tomorrow.
Heart beating to the tread of my feet,
I'll make my own way forward.
Keep moving forward.
Don't stop.

A pretty different style to my usual work but I'm so very pleased with this. Ideas taken from here and there and influenced by Japanese music.
Please tell me what you think

I think this is absolutely awesome. Beautiful imagery.
Great choice of words. Nice description. I like it very much. It reminds me of life, which is, in some ways, nice.
I particularly like 'I know the heat we've had this summer
Means that change is on the way,'
Very darn great. =]
