Free to Fall

Free to Fall

A violet ray marches across the sky,
spilling out the unspoken word.
The echo's lost in the silhouetted mountain.
When I reach out, the sun slowly sets.
The heart's beat broke the silence.

I watch the infinite city lights
mirroring the invisible stars.
My mind drifts and wanders, trying to find
the stars hidden in the abyss.
The heart's beat breaks the silence.

Everything around me becomes still.
The lifeless leaves with their fading green.
They've been cast off by their dying tree.
I could feel the leaves shimmering by.
The heart's beat snares the fleeing sun.

But the sun continues to set,
not a trace of the violet remains.
Eventually the moon pierces the sky
fully dressed in her silver gown.
The heart's beat, stops beating.
