bright penny / bearded branches 




treasuring that moment
 
the flame burns through
 
dropping down the well
 
lost time, forever gone
 
bright penny, lucky day
 
retreating stars away


***

chimes for the future
 
drums from the past
 
mist holding water
 
life moving fast
 
 
moss bearded branches
 
into the fire cast
 
stones protecting secrets
 
find a love to last
