Oh so silent you are drifting

past the grey days you once knew

pink and turquoise shells of wonder

gathered close to you

Still you wait for early morning

Eyes on dessert

Eyes on fire

Bitter stars bright in the brisk night

So silently you knew

So quietly seen through

Somewhere I hear laughter hiding up ahead

Sometimes I‘m just about to find it when instead

the sound of stone and stick and pebble under my feet

exposes an eroding me....I thread so quietly

Oh so silent you are drifting

past the grey days

past the blue

pink and turquoise Marcelle calling

so quietly to you
