dusk

 

 

dusk falls

and

midnight blossoms

light

the gloom

 

 

growing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

you draw me to this place

 

 

 

 

you draw me to this place

in time

i trace my steps

 

along the muddy banks

we walk

side by side

in grace and grime

i pause

you wait

i sigh

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

walking the dog

 

 

when all is still

 

 

when all is still

and the wood is silent

i tie them

to the boughs and branches

bury them deep

beneath the frozen ground

drown them in deep black waters

just

waiting

for spring

to loose

the bonds

and set my dreams free
