Treaty

The Sun came through just when I was about to walk to you. 

I gently got dressed and allowed myself to feel regret. When butterflies flew I knew you meant the truth because I saw the deep waterhole in you. 

I used to sit in the grass of your mistakes, swim in the river of your subconscious and run until I was in your faith. 

I was never out of breath, I only stumbled upon your reason to move away. 

I braided my hair and saw feathers fly up everywhere. The wolves howled and then a deer would hide. 

Was it out of fear because you promised me the moon would become a sphere but instead the stars fell like tears. 

Sleep with me until I am warm and hold my thoughts. 

Please love me until dawn and never let the night be brought because all the branches will interwine just like time would have done.
