Untitiled 2

Alone in the sunset
I lie waiting
Contemplating the past
The unspoken words
That should have lived
The ones spoken
That should have died
The nervousness
Lack of sight
All shrouded in my mind
Words flow like an ancient river
Wise and soft
Comforting and healing
Yet when I see her they fall
Like leaves to a seasonal death
Her smile inspires me
Her happiness brings about my soul
Her music, my lullaby
Yet her voice
My mind’s slumber
Awakens my heart
To new understanding
I face her
The world that surrounds us fades
For one moment
All I see
Is her.
