Silent Witness
In the darkness
In the oaks and elms
In the shadows
In the tangled dark
Amongst the branches
Relentlessly searching
Through falling shades of night
In the intimate darkness
A silent witness
In this timeless prison
He looks for the light
I have left him
Just for him
Day upon day
Down endless pathways
In his dreams
With me
