standing in the forgotten kingdom
standing in the forgotten kingdom
turning round, and facing north-
you find her; you find home.
with insolent eyes
she sees you-
tosses back her head; and laughs.
offers a welcome
that is lost to the wind
and turns and runs from you.
Footprints leave a ghost trail in the grass
you can't resist those eyes.
there is a raw pride here
a half smothered smile
an unashamed reality-
that
for a while,
Time forgot us.
and has spent forever,
catching up.
