I stumbled, blindly like the clouds
that droop heavy, resting on the hills
I spied wide wasteful, trod down grounds
And wept with ghosts of daffodils

The wind faced forth, its bold chest out
But its facade, clear silent air
Decapitated blossom now,
was all that danced in its sad glare

I found myself and that was all
wandering, witless in solitude
At ev'ry noise I feared to fall
on the deep spoiled ground my soul eschewed

A paced stroll into which I broke
seemed a slow toil, as if a dream
And I could have sworn that no one spoke
'neath the sky's pale earth-wide sheen

No churches bells were ringing in
This void of existential mist
No birdsong, though the light was dim
As if all goodness was eclipsed

And in this death a chill did chime
A noiseless, sightless spec of life
growing on the naive rhyme
blossoming in a wordless cry

Murmuring through unkissed lips
Hands out in the night
Sleeping on sinking ships
Some hearts die of fright
Most souls laugh heads held back
Others just seem to mourn
All their spirits way off track
Desperate visions torn
I lie awake and await thee
Hoping for your touch
Middle of the night and I'm alone
The fear is way too much
Slipping cracks and broken rhymes
Take my breath away
You are what I have said
I am what you'll say.. WILL
