reside amongst the trees

all of the trees
begin to sway
benieth the empty sky
amongst the willows
i lay next to what should be you
and i lift my head to
see the horizon

through the trees

i see only the light of your eyes

beaming.

you breathe, i sigh

with no pause
i take you in my arms

and we lay

holding on to one another

i fold into you

maternally you stroke my hair from my eyes

you fill me with

something more
than i have ever felt

and we reside here

amongst the trees

and we listen,

and we listen.
