How well the kindle shares us
As I open to your meadow, no longer lost
Astonished at myself, amidst the trembled leaves
The last thing to be thought of
My feelings as my only shield
Served warm to blossom in your hand

There seems to be a lustrous thread
And often when I close my eyes, it is for you
An undelivered kiss recited to the wind
The only purpose to be found
A spread unguarded to be knelt
Simple gifts, a penny for your thoughts

And yet, ensnared I trip the wires
Without a doubt to leave the ground
For that is where the blind is hidden
An un-relinquished spell
The final resting in my heart
Speechless, the fall that colors all

By now, the question that remains unsaid
As I walk within your steps still warm
Beside the lake, a private space
And I no longer fear the depths
Each visiting so timelessly pristine
Filled, in drops of you, the sea of me
