My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Photo Challenge #106
The stillness seems to deepen.
Hush!
Soft footprint without a sound
On daytime ground
Cooling in the night-time shadows.
Out of black silence come two hands,
Blue as the moon and dry as sand,
Acrid touch of a woad warrior.
Yes, I know
It is you
Come to bid farewell
Before the battle.
Yes, I know
From the tender touch
Of your blue
Fingers against mine,
Stained black.
Yes, I know
You love me too
And I ache for you
To come back
In the depths
Of silence.
