Wordless Wednesday – Dark Night

by Mary Bach

As I walk the ridge top
watching for rain
I wonder

what the tulips dream
tucked safe in their beds
for the long night of winter

what the wind sings
that inspires the leaves
to dance across along the fields

These things
I wonder
watching for rain
as I walk the ridge top

You
and I
we build
a scaffolding
of
sighs
reaching to
the closer
clouds

our fears
are not
of flying
but of
falling

back
to earth
with those
who go about
their lives

as if
the sky
was only

empty

as if
it did
not contain
wonders

as if
it was not
the threshold to

heaven
