do you listen
to the stories
and believe
in their endings.
in the suns
that set.
and the moons
that rise.
and the stars
that shine
because
it is so dark

the leaves are back on the trees
and the rustle is rife
in the air
again
sometimes
it is the familiar
that saves
you

it’s sunset
and the birds
are flying
across the sky
singing the songs
and living the dreams

we are destined
to burn
and that
turns us
to ash
scattered
on graves

stand in the wilderness.
look at all the trees.
see the leaves
return.
feel the familiar
be new
again.
