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

sometimes
it is the familiar
that saves

amongst stories
of dark worlds.
and fallen angels.
and scars. that never heal.
there are shades

in the bedlam
of days
there are times
when the haze
of yesterdays
will come in
and play.

when the decay
of the better times
will come in and stay.
and we will
pray
in the only
way
we know how
to ask
for a way
to make the less. less.
