Getting lost in the trees
I know these are the keys
The woods see the live and the dead
As I could only envision in my head
Walking alone in the bliss of Spring
This means nothing and yet everything
Glimmers of sunlite, like crystalline filigree
Caress my skin as warmth comforts me
There is love in heartbreak
Loneliness in company
Lite kisses in winter
And in self sacrifice, vanity
I trace the lines, thin and deep
Branches know the words we dare not speak
Intertwining woes and joys, of present and past
To predetermine our futures, made in brittle glass
Harder to break
Easier to to shatter
We all whisper the query
"Do we matter?"
They wear the weight on their fingers
Yet reach past where our gloom lingers
If I could bathe in their leaves so deep
And understand why even those without eyes do weep
For a moment they are still and silent
Their wonders now explained so violent
I know now just as I knew all along
What is it that happens when we are gone
We will not be forgotten
Lovers with hearts of wood
Never turn rotten
And all the poetry we have spoke
We leave with others now
For them to tote
Our souls will drift down distant seas
As our memories twirl in the breeze

Description:
Not even going to say much other than the fact that this was the last entry in my recent journal.
I'm not even really sure why I post here since I get 90% of my feedback from people who are too young to even fully grasp what I'm talking about.
Either way. Enjoy. - Date: 04/07/2009

- Comments don't come easy to me when trying to fill them with more substance than the simpleton's remark of love or hate. However, I do love it. Although I don't know how to express my proper impressions at the moment. This is definately one of my favorites...or it will be when I add it ^^'
