Silent Escapes

I turn the corner,
and see your shadow,
Dancing, Mocking.

I walk the sidewalk,
feeling the ghosts,
of our laughter, our love.

I feel the breeze,
blowing softly,
reminding of your touch, your kiss.

I climb the fence,
and reach the height of insanity,
as I remember my heart soaring.

I stroll down the dirt path,
kicking up dust as I go,
remembering crushed dreams.

I reach the waters edge,
and see the reflection,
of who I once was and have become.

I wonder as I tie the knots,
Why could I never change,
Why did I stay so quiet?

And I make my Silent Escape.

(M.Scott 8/5/10)
