The end of a story

Fleeting dash of snow, dancing swirl of mist,

Crashing surf on shores afar, a dreamless sleep, a forgotten kiss,

A branch too high off the ground, leaves brushing my hand,

The floating cotton of a cloud, hiding shapes of a stranger’s muse,

I feel your touch in everything.

Feet walking on paper-thin glass, a ripple of water beyond the edge,

A light burning at the end of the tunnel, but the tunnel does not end.

The day begins with a jump off a cliff, flying, crashing, crying,

Wings straining through enemy winds, fighting, clawing, soaring.

I feel your eyes on me.

Rushing up steep mountainsides, conquering far off peaks,

Touching the sky with a fingertip, feeling the ocean’s caress on my lip,

Riding the Eastern breeze till I meet the sun,

Holding on to my hair as I flew and spun.

I wonder what you think now.

Memories in my head like autumn’s fallen leaves,

Your laughter in my ear like Heaven’s secret breeze,

A single thread of song I feel rising in my chest, your image, your vision,

Your firm taps on my door a sharp shove to the head.

I pull the blinds and stay silent.
