You are the curve of the earth As it fades into the heavens The golden sunlight Washing over the canopy of the forest And in your rolling hills, hollows and cliffs I will find myself Your eyes They are the reflection of the sky On the rippling surface of the river The gray blue of the stones Underneath the waterfall The silver lining in between Every tuft of cotton clouds Glowing in the sunset I will follow the beating of your heart Like I follow every bend of the Delaware Until I reach the sea I hear your laughter In the breathing of the wind In chimes and in church bells In the pounding of the water As it roars across the mountainside I

i hoped to see an angel tonight in my grandparent's quiet house i hoped to see a ghost as i sat alone on my grandmother's bed, i did hear them the ghosts, whispering, walking through the kitchen and the living room, bumping through the attic and i saw them in the moonlight peering at me from the darkness of the woods the ghosts, they didn't frighten me just wore me out with their empty gazes and their bittersweet memories, now it feels like i'll never smile again they curled my soul into a little ball and dropped it in my stomach now, i only want to vomit i'm so god damn exhausted from searching from hearing nothing but echoes i hoped to
