Dark Pond by Riley Vakranov

Dark Pond

Dark Pond

I need the stars, every one

It's all that keeps me going now

The blank serene

Of new Selene

Is all I think I can allow

Those woods I walked, so far away

They haunt me as a memory

I think about them every day

I call to them so distantly

Above the lakes and all the pines

The clouds still circle in my mind

I can see them clear as day

Tumbling forth in shades of grey

Please, oh won't you take me home!

Take me back where I belong!

Leave me there all on my own!

I'll sit in the silence of my song

~

Dark Pond

Riley Vakranov

The one thing I miss the most about Georgia are the dark nights in the pines. There was a time when I was staying with my best friend, right before I moved, and every night was calm and quiet out in the farmlands, and each night I would and sit at the edge of his pond....

Even now, I can close my eyes and see the water stretching out before me, just cutting down from the drop off of the clay shore, nestled before me like painting-in-waiting. Sometimes I dream about it, and I keep wondering when I'll ever see it again. It will come... but it's the waiting that will make it worth it.
