Ramblings from past tense...
Stray Words in the Valley
Smoke and coffee and no conversation
Silence to hear and silence to talk to
Sometimes lost in the surrounding din
Smothered in the warmth of requisitioned love
Alone to stand in shadows and echoes
The valley sings & calls out to you
Still waters dance in ripples
Birds and butterflies to fly away
Dried leaves
And sunshine through bare branches to stay
And whisper the secrets of the forest
To a stranger passing by
Never to return to the folds
Of the same beloved silence
And bury yourself in its breath
Carry the blue skies in your heart &
The giggling river in your veins
Is that why the forest was bleeding
Oh come…don’t lie
Where did you steal and hide the raindrop
…Put it to sleep?
The memories are gone
The madness is forever mine to keep
