Mossy Banks

Wept on the lake tears
alight in dark embrace

grandiose the thoughts of those
lost in the forest

but I can see the trees

As the melody secretly floats away
on tethered hopes and dreams
watch the smoke engulf blue eyes
as the shine goes

soon we're little more than tiny figures

see there, on the silver fields - cowering in the hot shade
that's where we left frozen pride

On the way back to lake, through hands like weeds
striding tall again

so full of ourselves, we scream into the faded skies

only to awaken in the sand of our desires
in mud
the gritty beds of a vagabond

Another night by the lake,
another night of bitter roots
round the supple throat -

still in the moss,
right where we belong.
