for ron


darkened garden of moons
wilderness of winding vines
choke out the light today


a wild storm
awaits the rest
shadow and doubt
swirl
in relentless wind


raging thunder
and pounding
rains
against the panes
of our memories


reality molded
re-told
again
and
again
re-membered
re-written


alas,
your troubled heart
finally
in
stillness
