The sky has been blue for many a year like the eyes in the face of love looking down, down, to the ground hoping again to find the trail once freely and happily trodden. The sea has now rolled over the past and left in its wake another clean slate and the trees have bowed to the human race in belief of the wisdom of fools. And nobody knows where to find the hidden yet treasured artifact, you but here these days an unlit candle tempts with the feel of memory to make of the yearning a commonplace thing. Older by far the eyes flicker at last but, nay, it’s the scared, afraid running amok in a manmade maze unable to find the way out for many a trail sidetracks the slow and many a trail leads nowhere fast. The sky is still blue; I’m looking for you along a trail I someday will find and this I know because it feels right to dream and then to believe! Helen / 12 March 2007 |
