Black and White Day and Night

Forgiveness

A stir, a whisper in desperate trees. 

A beam of moonlight landing, please.

I beg forgiveness on my knees,

I fall, I tumble, scream, forget. 

Falling to my own dear hit,

Smooth cold steel,

a laugh of glee,

help me fall down, 

help me flee. 

Misty glimmers on moonlit night.

Drop of dew, touch of fright. 

A surreal glow to fallen leaves.

Hail those fallen, hail those trees. 

Don't die yet, I have life still.

Desperation, rising till

I see the moonlight touching trees,

as I fall on my aching knees.

Touching the dew that drips on me,

Rising softly, touching air, 

In the hopes you will be there.
