Mysterious, chilling wind pinches my cheek
Over black dirt to cushion my feet
Or kisses my toes, pink with moonlight
Now look, into the forest
Lined with tall trees, black, painted bones
I find yearning hands and veins in branches
Growing slow waltz of white lilies
Hidden in a memory of light and fairytale
The moon's cheeks glow
and sing a lullaby i've forgotten
to the clouds who caress a calm baby
in a black-blue sky like bruised lead
and swim from the bottom of a blue lake of tears
to a moonlit sky
a black-and-white photo dance
ebony black and wet fog gray pour
into a smiling sky
born of twinkling sapphires and charcoal
swimming in an ocean of snowy stars
