Come Closer

cracks crevices , the edge , steely sharp peaks 

reaching out , tumbling down, ever green, naked brown 

the bare chest of the mountain throbs with a beating heart 

come closer

never did i see, quilted beneath trees,  a cliff's eyes, the faces hidden underneath

the thought of them without the warmth of trees always made me sad

but never had i seen 

the mountain's withered lines, rivulets trickle down as unseen tears they weep 

come closer 

This path is treacherous 
Stains of grey, pain bleeds from eyes
As if all they see is an everlasting winter
They don't remember the heat, or if they were aflame with a slow burning fire
Igniting her soul

Slowly buried under snow
Frozen heart, famished veins
Icy bones, Pale skin
She wanes like the moon within
But you will never know 
For she never will show 
The silent sorrow of the willow that weeps
A crying dove with the broken wing
The sighing white birch, swaying once again
Persuasive forbidding wind
Will you ever feel?
The soft sound of autumn leaves 
as they fall gracefully back to their ground
