Aloft and Silent

[ShadowFire]

Aloft and Silent

I watch the moons pass
Every night longer than the last

I draw breath into me
The fog making each harder to be

I cry a single salty tear
Just one every passing year

I listen to the river run
As I count the seconds since I begun

I touch the cold rocks
The wind whispers and mocks

I smell the sweet grass
Of every meadow I can't enter, but pass

I sit alone on a branch of a tree
Aloft and silent for all to see

This is romanticizing piece. We get lost in a world of beauty and wonder.
