Shadows Play

Standing on the tree branch

As it was covered by falling creeping leaves

Tiny pieces tucked away

Underneath her shadows play

As she sat there staring at all around her

She wondered would her man ever come

Whispers of the forest did not scare her

She was as much a part of its wonders dispersed

Lightening bugs filled her hearts delight

Dancing mesmerizing scenes of fall

Enchanted by everything

This was her call

As the gold tunnel of colour

Filled her emptiness

Her lips waited patiently for him to kiss them

For him to hold her to caress

He did not come

She fell to sleep

Never to awaken

Never to be seen

If only he had come that night

Everything would have been alright

But as karma would have its wicked way

She could wait no more

Not even one more day  

Staring eyes

Dancing heart

Nature had taken her

Away from this man who was marked

She glides amongst the wilderness

By the light of the moon

The golden colour light

Had come far to soon
