Arms to hands to fingertips
Keep time at a distance
Eyes empty their gaze of heart
Hope envelopes all else

Nights don't fall so easily
After dust entangled days
Breezes die in echoes and breaths
Light flees with the twilight

Wishes stand in rain unwashed
Letting their stains bleed
Fleeting thoughts escape their words
Unwritten books tell all
