~ Letters to You ~

Behold

black ashes burnt white

flitting like glitter in still air;

we part like dandelion seeds

at the edge of a fading day.

Perhaps they will see us

once they come hurrying, but slowly

to watch the risen sun set anew.

(And they will crave our softly flight.)

Wooden hearts tilt toward the light

shedding red and orange tears

that are swept away by cold winds.

(And did you know I am with them?)

I think I have found a bed

where the sun rises at my head

tossing warm looks every now

and then; how about you?

Turn dusk, turn day

for long have we been away

I wish to see you after we bloom.

(But will you know me then?)
