In her girlish wistful gaze,
She now laments those fleeting days.

amber of bourbon
aged in charred oak barrel
her heart

The night seized prisoners of sleep.
Even those with the mangled minds.  
Put to slumber the mutilated memories.
Their persistence will be sure to further torture me.
The dark enveloped and swallowed her yearn to weep.
There is ecstasy of quiet
after her disillusioned screams
I wish her bed was a prison of a cocoon.
To metamorphosis back in time.
To the days she had a healthy mind.
Those days are gone, vanished, never to return. But the candle of my love for her continues it's fight to burn.

Listen closely, sweet maiden
Can you hear it?
Strain if you must, to listen
Welcome the song of magic on the wind
Surrender
As gentle waves give over to the Moon,
So give yourself to her sacred guidance

Stand closely, dear mother
Can you feel it?
Dig if you must, to touch
Grasp the light from deep within
Surrender
As Summer succumbs to Autumn
So give yourself to the ever-changing seasons

Look closely, wise crone
Can you see it?
Lean in if you must, to behold
View the beauty of all...
