Joy

Dark silhouettes on smouldered trees

The smell of smoke still hung around each time

You took my breath away like the wind steals the autumn leaves 

But when you're gone I can't take the stillness 

It makes me shiver, it makes me break

like the branches on a winter night 

I cradle myself as the flowers hum me sweet songs 

while I reminisce over the evergreen forests 

captivated by the edge of the labyrinth 

Then I jump

and joy fills my soul
