The sudden merger of sapphire
with the mystic twilit sky
led the green to the fire
beyond the warm ardor of life
the obscure remnants of the foliage
descended into the dirt
the futile advent of the raindrops
evanesced into the blaze
racing drops of water on my forehead
flowing out of the stream of thought
shadows take the form of a silhouette
cast against the june sky of regret
another era concluded
wishing that i was sober
another nightfall secluded
in retrospect
running away from the dawn
of a future foreseen
prospectively nevergreen
