Somewhere in the silence
I hear the faraway call
of a distant bird
melodious and beautiful
yet out of place
in the weeping darkness
an echo flutters within me
a constant yearning
you move through my mind
I want to feel your breath
upon my skin
a thought that whispers
upon the gentle wind
dreams are drifting
on the edge of the night
