Literature Text

Swift as stolen melody, we dance on the edge of sound.

It is in the darkness of falling leaves that we cling for clarity,
and stumble in calculation to some sinking resolve.

Watch the stars burn themselves clean.

Had we ever brought this careless side of self to light,
we could have painted a softer shade of morning
tonight.

Just smile.

We remember nothing.

Stand still;
listen to the promises of faded photographs,
of moving timepieces.

We're living twilight through the meaning of goodbye.
Old poem I came across, from '09.

Haven't submitted anything in a good long while - hoping browsing through old words will spark a voice.

This is really good. I am surprised that more people haven't commented on it.

P.S. Don't worry about the little alien. He is my signature until I figure out how to do an actual signature.
