Darkness envelopes
Silent stars hung
Lanterns in a blue abyss
Shrouded hopes
Threads unstrung
Sweet first kiss
Traverses without ropes
Amazing grace sung
Otherworldly bliss
Steadfast oaks
Woodland canopy overhung
Tears' reminisce
Where poppies sprung
In this
Despair clung
A world amiss
Hearts wrung
Souls transfixed
Unspoken words on the tongue
Blood moon eclipse
An empty swing swung
Letters upon a new script
