"The Addict - Pt III"

Somewhere in the midst Within the center of the storm Sweetness of light shined through Parting clouds, spreading warmth They were seated on a branch Amidst the shelter of old trees Basking in the sunlight Grateful for lighter breezes After a spiraling descent An endless fall from the skies The shaken dove awoke from dreams Her eyes adjusting to the light But it wasn't her eyes that saw The boy sitting so pleasantly close It was her ears that knew him first It was the beauty in his notes The bird's song was soft and sweet A lovely tune he sang with ease Warming hearts and ears and reticence Flowing heavenly through the leaves The dove closed her eyes And felt the thawing at her heart Barriers melting, flowing away Troubles now gone and off so far The boy sang his tune An endless melody in the skies And he held the dove ever closer As he sang to her through the night
