I once was one

Where have they gone

The gentle kind

Have they disappeared

Into sacred rock caverns

Hidden from this world

Holding within it peace

Turquoise tranquil hearts

The last remnants of purity

Honesty coveted quietly

Liquid hope dripping

Slowly

Steadily

Upon old absinthe rock

Joy forever cased in liquid glass

Pools of loyalty quenching

Softness sweetly melting in air

Forever crowned in kindness

Illuminating trust in kin

Strength of valor in chant

Shared smiles sip and wait

For the earth to be silent

So they may surface once again

Into the rising sun
