- 2 AM -

I think I hear my Wild Horse
run through fields of moonstruck sage
in the dark when the softbells ring.

Between each beat, sounding through
my veins, endless silence flies.
(But the Wild are free now, they're free!
And they run with the mares and fae and the trees.)

Only in such sweet and silent twilight
will the Wild fly and will my lost ones
return to me.

They sing unsung melodies
and hold candle to the Flame
to keep me warm.

They stay. They all stay.
They stay, it seems, forever.
(Until the softbells lull me to sleep
until forgetful day.)
