Is all I see
grown beneath the trees,
the true spirit
of my heart,
burnt with the light
in the dark.

With steps on stone,
my feet walk alone,
until the path is split.

I've sank in deep
where the dawn awakes
and the frost creeps.
I have stayed to watch
the wild change.
And the rosy rusted leaves
have fallen off the trees
to chase after me,
with the wind as their kin,
shaking circles of worlds
surround me in turns
of all words.
Let go,
let grow,
let rest be done.

How shallow
is the waters of the sun?
We've all come
to calm the weakened one.


Kindly,
Redheart Angrybraids

Oh, gentle little spirit ...
how this touches who you are ...

'And the rosy rusted leaves
have fallen off the trees
to chase after me,'

How very, very lovely, my friend.
