It’s that time of year again, when I start to take weekends off from my blog, not totally, but enough to be able to spend time with my family. So, Backyard Buddies returns for Season 2 🙂

She covers her face, weeps into her hand
Leaning against barren stretches of sand
And the trees behind her, though silent and still
Offer no shelter from the penetrating chill
She is forlorn and helpless, no hope to be found
Marked by the cross, that lies in the ground
A lover departed, she longs for his touch
And he reaches for her, with the wind’s gentle rush

She is a natural beauty, with skin so fair
Her face reflects, in the water, where
The forest trees join her, in sweet repose
Though keeping an eye on her, lest she expose
The vulnerability, for just a moment or two
A vision of one, whose pain pulls her through
Never allowing the others, to find her like this
She keeps herself hidden, so near the abyss
Of water, before her, will she make the connection?
Is it really her, she sees, or merely nature’s reflection?

She carries a heart, laden with woe
Across poppy fields, her burdens, in tow
Flanked by spirits, who shine in the night
Casting an ethereal, celestial light
She quickly turns away, head tucked in her hood
Fearing the demons have found her, for good
But these unworldly creatures, are merely her guides
To the realm where they dwell, on the heavenly side
And deep in her soul, she believes it’s elsewhere
Then she realizes, now, she’s her own cross to bear

Twilight reaches for the night
When darkening clouds invade
Covering the last of sun
With thick and dusky shade
Disguised within a blackening sky
Luminous shadows emerge
Eventide, sunset’s light
When day and night converge
