Rust
By Kelly Loraine Stearns

collecting old keys
seeking answers unseen
lost in a puzzle
of amnesiac complexities
the clock chants why
timeless moments pass her by
orchestrating a symphony
of a perpetual dream
silence whispers
echoing particles of dust
a young womans demure
shatters the silent voice in rust
iron oxide leaves behind
hypnotic tales forgotten in time
fueling visions through the fog
stepping through portals
as sleep conducts the beat.
insomnia is a friend
when reality seems to creep
envoking images of forever
translated through synchronicity
rain is the epiphany
enclosing her forgotten destiny
only through the eyes of translucent beings
will rust reveal infinity.
