Balloon Rhapsody

Amongst the twisted bramble of forgotten whispers,
The ancient trees converse in eloquent rustle,
A melody encrypted in the sullen wind.
Their murmurs carry secrets of another age,
Where sylvan spirits breathede life intothe shadows.

"Folding in upon themselves like a sly dream
between the fingers of a nocturne soul,"
croaks the gnarled oak, its trunk a cathedral,
silhouetted against the phantasmagoric dusk.

Above, the balloon sways with lost reverie,
Adorned with ivy chains and spectral thoughts,
Defying gravity amidst the forest of sighs.
Mystic Occlusion
