Wilhelm looked down the dusty road
Letting his eyes lose focus as he thought of her
And felt within some small part curled up inside that cherished
Brought to mind the epiphany he’d had when all the children’s tales
Had gelled within the life he lived and sparked that part of soul
Connected to his heart

“How many nights?” he wondered as he walked
“Have I sat upon the hearth to listen to the whispered words
Seeing threads connect the then to now and felt them tug
At rabbit holed dreams or the fairy tale yet born?”

The sun had no worried eyes or sweat upon its brow
And each wisp of dust that rose from path cared not
If it settled where it was or somewhere on the wind it found
That  thorns grew ripe on brambles protected crown
Guarding young virtue or the fates yet found
In some woman’s heart
So foot follows foot along the trail and minutes to days
To moons month passing found one flute played
To be much the same as the symphony of warning
That rumbled as a low curse in the throat of crone or vowel
As it hissed the cautionary tale or the way the drums
When played strong shook marrow in the bone

“Oh, breathe in me” he whispered to the wind
“and let some movement of this heat find rest within
What I have packed in careful folds and the words as syntax begat
When I was cold”

“The shade… and pause…”
“For I must capture in a moments scribe just how when hope resides
Beneath the ink and yet within the verbs turned noun
When I remember how it felt
As once upon a time the arc of her in meld met the map of me”

Two trails where wheels have formed the bare
And eyes a focus on another tale to tell
For children who may never hear the all of why it’s told
While in the distance still unseen
Bells toll the hours spent
On dusty roads and in the thoughts
Of her
