Disappearing act
1 December 2015
The wise ones once said
There was too much of a Love
Share it with the All
With Summer’s waning
I gifted you to the sea
Its frothing horses
Ebb and flow tireless
Played with your dazzling body
A game of waters
Above Autumn’s light
I gifted you to the hills
Their curving silence
The shrubs and the trees
Twined with the hairs on your head
Weaving dark stories
Below Winter’s cold
I gifted you to mountains
Their chilly snow peaks
Rocks and crevasses
Sprinkled with your throbbing skin
Uneven castles
Beside Spring’s blossoms
I gifted you to deserts
Their whispering sands
Yellow sands’ showers
Cloaked your soul in Time’s essence
Smothering stillness
When there was no more
The seas, hills, mountains, deserts
Took silent your place
Wise ones gazed at me
Amplified and distended
Disappearing act
Skye – Clock to Stop
