Nights dawn upon the wanderersA Poem by LisaButterfly
Night dawns upon the wanderers
And the blanket covers the day A frosty mist lingers over my head The dewy air of spring has now left What will become Once the winds of winter turn into snow This night is my lover And that would ring true Since love is madness And the days are my drunken solace Since wine is sweet sorrow The shattered soft breeze on my forehead He once chose to kiss I watch myself staring into the crowded room Moss grows slowly on stone when it rains I spread myself across the boundaries of the Serengeti Where the hummingbird howls And the night sky turns upon the migrating buffalo Love no longer lives here For now his once warm breeze which held me in esteem is now just a passenger on an empty train Ripe I told myself I was Barren desert plains find life under the layers of sand A tiny sand fly lives to tell the tale Of the dream to live upon the Serengeti Now lays the dread of a new day © 2021 LisaButterfly |
