Dualities
and of the reflection nothing
as shadows negate presence
by affirming it
simple laughter and gentle joys steal the breath from souls
that live and every moment die
shedding a natural skin until repetition dulls the sense
until the music winds too low toward moments beyond recall
welling within
laying us still in sun lit breezes where ashes stray affecting the shadows but not the day
where nature remains and everything will always be in song
dreams of night without end and the shadow of days past as all i recall or care to remember stays darkly still many worlds away
remembering still
those rock strewn beaches lying cold against a darkened sea because you were there and sirens called for companionship
rainy days hold me in fingers without tips and shadows fall against what I want to say to filter like light and wish of distant memory
(*** this isn't me now, this is me then ***)
