Though it was meaningful
in it’s powerful tragedy
the night sky loomed
as the hours passed
this choice in the heart
forever drawn by fantasy.
He would now escape reality
for a brief travel
inside some crafted alibi
for coping
for understanding
how to survive.
He knew with a glance outside
toward the downtown sky
there in a distance
is a world he cannot deny
for his love
dancing along the treetops
forever
with his own naked eye.
She would be that beauty
always unattainable
yet readily
his heart and soul
would live inside her remedy
sweet eternal bliss.
Oh slow is this reality
as the doors clamor shut
seedlings lead the way
some sunrise
beyond the setting sky
gives credence
loving ways.
For in the magic of our time
inside the eyes of his muse
Sweet
will be this peace of mind.
