Element

The moonlight shone through the wearisome leaves in the trees
The branches that remain made the beams dance.
They found your eyes, and changed them to that color
blue.
Like the deep fountains held tight within,
somehow a secret was wisping away
into the wind
to never be heard again.
We asked the wind to blow her mighty eastern breath
to begin anew.
The earth listened, and added a dance to her mournful tune.
A candle lit to the south,
to embrace the cooling waters to the west.
A song emerged.
Your ocean moonlit eyes danced to the rhythm
and found peace within its tranquility.
Silence is a gift we have to earn.
Hold tight to my hand, while we drift away with the breeze.
The floods will take us away, we'll float in the deep, cool waters.
rise with the founding fires,
and wash up on the steady earth.
Amid a new day, a new life, and a new way.
We will find peace.
