once more I can hear you
though you're just out of reach
it's almost as if I can feel you
warm and close you envelop me

I smell the dust of autumn leaves
and ink upon a page
you lure me in with your well spun stories
and I sink deep and far away

my existence masked and forgotten
my worries set aside
replaced with heroes once downtrodden
that now flourish free and alive
