the road ends where the shadowy shanty stands alone,
amid solitude, silence and seeded fields overgrown.
bypassed this road times before,
alluring whispers beneath implore
who lives there?
what form resides within such place
daunting darkness heavily laced
a door ajar, beckoned from afar
stoking curiosity.
primordial uneasy realm
enchanting creatures intimately found.
lodged the night and watched their plight
till aurora came around.
nocturnal storm to dawning mist
balmy breeze weave through vellus hair,
evening scars turn to bliss.
scent of petrichor ease despair
morning milk flowed as silk,
warm and sweet – soothing his sigh,
before flailing arms reached a cry.
swaddle removed, cradled to skin
returned two to harmony again.
early spring removed the sting
as nutrients pollinate the place
a trillion flying forms; floating things,
flooded the atmosphere without care
and fairy flies feasted plankton in the air
