Fading Away

"Fading Away"

Tis strange
How beauty fades from the mind
How it fades from the heart

The sound of the rain in the trees.
How it fades.
The warmth of your embrace.
How it fades.
The chill of the night.
How it fades.
The softness of your eyes.
How it fades.
The cold swiftness of the river.
How it fades.
The sweetness of your scent.
How it fades.
The smell of the pines after the rain.
How it fades.

My heart waits...
For some release
A release from this prison

where beauty fades
where the mind forgets
where the soul dies
