The Sad Moments

The Sad Moments
Silvern

The earth breaths deep after the long thirst.
No more breakable shell,
The dust is whispering away on the wind.
Forget the landscape of thirst,
Where every shadow was a wish.
Let the ground soften now.
Drink deeply of the sky's gift.
We want the yielding,
The dark, rich promise beneath the feet.

A surface smooth enough to hold reflection,
Not the jagged memory of drought.
This is the time for slow seep.
The silence is strengthening.
No breakable edges, no fear of collapsing.
Just the cool, honest place where new things begin.
