11. Rolled in velvet crystal...

Thu Feb 15, 2024, 07:02 PM

Feb 2024

Broken reds with scarlet
Hand-me-down of sundry seas
Melting golden flesh is
Cracked and spilled in garden
Circles grown of me

Fly me on, fly me on
The hour will be
Fly me on, fly me on
The hour will be

Window morning I see, wonder, come to me
You will turn it, nothing is the key
Window morning I see, wonder, come to me
You will turn it, nothing is the key
