What To Never Leave Me

What to never leave me
To what I will remain
The letters white and blue in white
Beneath the picture frame

Sincere the face of whispers
It speaks both day and night
Painted in my bedroom
Untouched by natural light

Words untouched by thinking
Thoughts untouched by sight
Cheerful silence kept in motion
Like hummingbird's still flight

But time—it came a'thieving
Pounding at the door
I came outside not knowing what
Would turn to nevermore

The sun—it came out staring
On me its truthful gaze
It burns my eyes, and browns my skin
And dries me in its rays

Mists of blackness follow
Like vultures take their share
My lighted steps becoming scarce
Slipping unaware

But what to never leave me
Those words of white and blue
I left the letters sitting by
The candle in my room

And what to never leave me
Remaining from the start
Sincere your silent whisper
Is framed within my heart

Earth's now toning brown
The sky—it shades to grey
But still to never leave me
A blue and simple day
