I saw you
in the birds
I heard them
cry your name
Your tears were
in the river
Your passion
in that flame
Watching
over me
Like a shadow
in the night
Trying to give
me comfort
But just giving
me a fright
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
I saw you
in the birds
I heard them
cry your name
Your tears were
in the river
Your passion
in that flame
Watching
over me
Like a shadow
in the night
Trying to give
me comfort
But just giving
me a fright
It’s so peaceful here.
Quiet. Serene.
If only the incessant chatter in my head would quieten down,
I might just be able to enjoy it.
