The dark silhouette of the tree reminds me how austere the world is ...

i see you ... come home

oil pastel and poetry © cindy serio oct 2013

I saw your reflection dancing in my soul last night,

a stale cigarette your only companion.

I saw you kissing the blueberry light far away,

embers glowing, fire burning, ashes falling like stars from the sky.

I saw you swirling your secrets among the aspen trees,

abandoned in the story written by strangers.

I saw you dressed in black silk as dark as the deep,

softly flowing, gently fading into your pain.

I saw you falling ...

falling ...

falling

into the raging river ...

slipping away ...

slipping away ....

slipping away

i see you ....

i see you ...

i see you

come home
