sombrous

          born at the brink
          of moonshadows and dusk
          we adore the quietly
          smiling face pinned
          to this ultramarine sea

                    dark yet glistening
                    trickling into the mist
                    of our autumn souls
                    seeping the wounds
                    to fill subterranean caves

          bear with the trees
          that have shed their leaves 
          for they stained your eyes with gold

                     bear with the trees
                     that retracted to their roots
                     for they await
                     a warming sun
                     to fill their veines
