(no subject)
just because...
once upon a time,
an angel laughed to another,
another lily bloomed,
another story began
of another girl
who fell in love
she rested her head
against his shoulder,
and the soft motion
of the passage of time
rocking her to sleep
a gentle bliss
of a dreamworld
on the salty ocean,
the ship carried him away from her,
and on that bittersweet sea,
time was stolen away
becoming a small dot on the horizon
a blur of cloak high on a balcony
a breath of mortality
in a world of ghosts
another song of a world
where the thorns of roses are forgotten,
where rivers run happily
where winter never comes
but eventually,
the snow wakes the dreamers
nature knows no good or evil
every night, after the stars
have risen and the streets
are quiet, the animals
asleep, she pulls out the box
fingers the photographs turned
soft with age, the letters
from courting, the history
that smells of him and love
at the dawn, her old fingers
rub her eyes when she wakes
and puts the dream back in the box
for the coming evening
retelling another story
of a girl who fell in love
