Incantations of solitude
Splayed all over 
Iridescent pages
Wiped by finger wand
In an instant

Sweet torment of longing
For deeper waters
Treading still
Yet running 
In ruminations

Creatures lurk 
Prod and pull 
At my toes
Envious of airborne 
View below treetops

A curtain moves
Lights fade
My heart gallops
At the notion
A bond could not
Be saved
