changes in constant
Summer sky welcoming the night
leaves panting, gasping for the storm
shimmering water grinning at pale sun,
warm yellow is soaking the blue
and the wind loafing back and forth;
I'm stuck on a verse
staring at it for endless time ;
cold wind swallowing the heat
and the wind started to whisper
underneath its breath now and forever,
silence of warmth grew cold
as the lake closed its bright eyes;
reading the verse again
as if it's pulling me back like an anchor
whenever I try to sail amidst the next verse,
my eyes crawl back to the line;
storm has faded into teary rain
leaves branches are tired,
silence has been filled with voice
as the lake is swallowing the pearls of sky;
I tried to imagine the lines
on the roof of my closed eyes
words came floating like paper boats
scratched like a memory on a tree bark;
finding myself reading it again after a moment or so
I'm still stuck on the verse.
