Swaying so slightly,

Feeling the call.

 

A laughing smile,

A quiet teardrop.

 

Wind in the trees,

Brushing away the bees

 

See.

See.

 

What do you see?

 

Hear.

Hear.

 

What do you hear?

 

A sorrowful soul?

A laughing heart?

 

A pained moan?

A scream of laughter?

 

Who do you see?

See?

 

An old friend?

Perhaps a lover?

 

What do you hear?

Hear?

A long forgotten story?

Perhaps in an old language?

 

Swinging in time,

 

Truth,

or Dare?

 

World,

or Wonder?

 

Live,

or Die.

 

Truth is dying.

Dare’s no longer with us.

 

World is overrated.

Wonder is forgotten.

 

Living is a waste.

Dying even more so.

 

Clouds are leaving.

 

Goddesses’ crying.

 

And you.

 

The sky is gray,

The blue long gone,

 

The trees are black, no longer strong.

 

What will end all pain?

No one.

 

***

Everyone.
