Another Day

Petals like shells, broken
 Deep roots seep color from the soil
 Grey days, dark waters glisten
 Remember... Another day
 Trees sip from the stream
 Winds whistle, rivers rustling reeds
 Rain drops into the placid pool, rippling
 Remember... Another day
 Children sleep, haunted
 Solitary, closed eyes gleam
 Secrets unweaving
 Thoughts free... Another day
 I never
 Yesterday patterns I see
 Time doesn't matter
 Remember... Another day
 Gather tears from dust
 Uncanny, perfect shapes at your feet
 I, deep within your dreams
 You sing... Another day
 Looming figures hide faces
 Wounded, whispering names
 Footsteps chase sleep
 Awaken... Another day
 Heavy wings... pull me deeper
 Ground beckons my embrace
 Down, clinging to last breath... Another day
