My memories once dark

I feared them in my sleep

They swirled around

My nighttime mind

My memories that liked the dark

My memories so dark

Sent me to see her

Her words of light

Memories took flight

She took them out

Blew them about

They swirled like leaves

From the willow trees

My memories the ones so dark

Flew from my soul

To fly like the birds

Among the willow trees

She looked at me

With a smile,

she promised to say nothing more.
