Distant buildings

Slowly appearing

Through a winter storm

 

One point of light

A flame that melts the heart

A candle in the dark

 

Dawn breaks

Night falls

The stars return

Return

 

Kneeling in the blue light

Listening for a whisper

Kneeling in the blue light

 

Rain on the rooftops

Rain rippled water

Thunder rolls once more

 

Wind in the treetops

Dust in the sunlight

That spills across a wooden floor

 

The long summer evenings

The longer nights that follow

Through changing seasons

Time escapes

 

A green world of birdsong

A grey sky of snowflakes

Blown every which way

 

Dawn breaks

Night falls

The stars return

Return

 

The gold will turn

To icicles 

It’s a losing game

You can’t conquer change

 

Kneeling in the blue light

Listening for a whisper

Kneeling in the blue light
