see,
the trees
stand exposed in the
dusk of our hour
beckoning me
to see beyond
the ache of an absence
yet to come
always
pillars of strength
they call out to me
their branches
dancing in harmony
was it only
yesterday that your laughter
echoed in the hallways
of my heart
as you placed
your hand in mine
innocently pulling me
towards a future
not to be
i must
release you
return you to that place
from where you once came
where the sky
is a fireball of foreverness
eternally
absent from my world
but alive in another
you will rise
in the sun and the moon and the stars
dancing in harmony
with my forest of trees
