It came and went away,
that summer. To the wind
whimsical ways under the sun
perspired on the sanded dunes.
In the silent time of all that was
now in dark and needy mire,
once again to find a solitude
in quiet keys and wander
into memories now shelved
folded in upon themselves.
There's a promise gave,
which is given to the quiet self
to live again.
