Her Heart Leaked, You Know?

Just a girl, lost somewhere

in the rain, with a wolf and an umbrella
watched by an owl

wandering through hills with beautiful golden light
over bridges built with pages and penning ink
through mystical mountains, charmed with so many creatures

Her wolf always kept her safe
her umbrella always kept her with just enough of a taste
of the wet beautiful world she walked through
An owl that followed behind slowly in the night
catching her nightmares behind her

She faced so many different worlds, and soon
the owl that followed, lost himself in a tree
still observing, still watching but too weak to keep chasing.
Her wolf wandered bit by bit farther and farther
and after a time only his howls and distant shadow were all she saw.

Finally her umbrella. Her Umbrella Of the Night,
that kept her so many dreams alive
under all it's many stars

began to fade.

And left her world dry.
