The night walks slow along the river bend
Its velvet footsteps brushing past the reeds
Your name returns in ways I can’t defend
A softened storm fulfilling unseen needs
The sky leans low unraveling its blue
Letting its secrets fade in tender streams
Each drifting cloud resembles part of you
A memory blooming deep within my dreams
Your silence folds around me like a prayer
A gentle pulse across my restless thought
Within its shade I breathe a calmer air
And feel the strength of all the peace you brought
Love settles where the quiet waters flow
A silver mark upon the trembling shoal
Even in dark your steps continue slow
Carving a path toward the center of my soul
