Mesmerized by full moon light

Once flaxen haired, now turned to white

An empty boat in harbor waits

Is this her ill begotten fate?

Mist below her, hidden river

Limbs of flesh, begin to shiver

Standing, waiting, upon the pier

Still the boat does not draw near

Could this all be just happenstance?

Should she await another chance?

With a treasure map held in her hand

She seeks to find the Promised Land

Come sit with me while I relax for a few

I often come here when there’s nothing to do

The old wooden bench is a comforting place

I can sit here for hours, the sun on my face

But today it is different, I’m not here alone

Something was left on this ancient, worn throne

And I sit down beside it, and have a good look

Feel the essence that emanates off of this book

Is it waiting for me, or is it only for show?

Can I touch the yellowed pages, I really don’t know

If I open this book, will it lose all its glory?

Still I wonder, perhaps, if it’s my untold story

Christened by the warmth of sun

Springtime has blossomed

The soft whisper

Of a silent hello

Filling my ears

Calling out to me

Letting me know

In this place filled

With so much pain

And confusion, that

You are still here

A comfort in my world

Until we meet again

In yours….

Innocence dances in morning so bright

Not a care to concern her, she’s one with the light

Donning flowers about her face

A child of beauty and elegant grace

Free as the elements, one with the wind

Swirling about, again and again

Taking it all, she is lost without care

Free as a butterfly, dancing on air
