Away

I lie here amongst the lilies
Sunlight baths the sorrowed tree
Willowed branch doth brush the mind

Resting in the shade
That hallowed darkness
Staring into the sky

Pondering here
Finding myself floating softly
Carried upon fallen petals

Arose into the sky
Clouds brush past the silent air
Flowing swiftly by daylight

Sunlight falls gently
Dying behind majestic mountain
Night descends

Final rest
Serene peace from chaos
Moonlight valley below

The wind of a thousand knives
Breaking silent sleep
A chill shatters

Shatters the softened mind
Awoken in pain
Misery doth reside

Misery, that lonely foe
Crowds the quiet eve
Finds those lacking

Lacking in the basic light
The light that breaks
Breaks the silent dark

The silent dark that falls
When she is away…
