With shining eyes
Ocean pooled
Left bright by salty weeping.
Rest your head upon
The green, beside the river
While birds fly above like blackened holes in the sky.
The reeds sway to the wind's waltz
While river stones are smoothed
And the trees lean, creaking with old pain.
The most perfect place to weep
To cry your tears unheard
Lose your pain unseen.
The sky withers pink like old leather
The stars become unhidden like ghosts of time
While the moon boasts its shining face.
The birds fly to nests and all is quiet as death
And the night floats upon it
Stand and catch a loose gasp
Breath of life to clear your frown
