Awaken



I saw the waves whispering as if the part of them was missing,
The greenest of the green was taken by the storm within the grass lightly touched.
I saw the storm itself and in the very heart of it - thy empty deep reply -
How piously it was once praised among the Gods.
I saw the wind tousling your hair whoever you walked with and your lonely eyes,
Filled with great expectations, refilled with the cliff they fell off all at once.
I saw your heart within a walking distance of my own and the very embodiment of all of my deepest fantasies,
Restored by you and denied by my uncertainty.
I saw the time in its slowliest of places and shadows left in its haunted castle.
