Mid day
The rain falls gently outside
Trees lit by soft light
Pierced by cloud cover stand in the distance.
I sit here
Laptop warms my charcoal pants
Back lit screen shines upon the keys
A single ant scurries across my hand
Rue
My feline companion crosses gently
Landing upon the couch
My seat disturbed
Now
He lies upon the top
Gazing down at the screen
Watching them
Waiting
Noting how my fingers strike the keys
Scolding my lack of form
Twitching his tail in ecstasy
Looking up
I meet his eyes
He slowly turns away
A gentle purr as he departs
I sit alone now
Watching the rain
Skeletal trees through curtain
Drip sorrows upon the lawn
Crystal nothings crack
Shattering their hopeless lives
Breaking silent promises
A lone chair in the distance
White… Black
Pink
Flowers blooming overhead
Caught in a gentle mist
An empty road
Lies beyond the nothing forest
Lost in a time of its own
A time to be forgotten
Moving swiftly
Past the open door
Upon the lawn I dance
Waltzing alone
One two three
I chant in elvish tongue
As dewdrops grace my lips
Gentle breeze upon the leaves
Joining in my cry
My eyes closed to blinding rays
As clouds do part away
I leave behind
That faithful song.
