Where are you?

Oak leaves for hands and wrists of glass
Grasping and clawing for something alive
Rocks for eyes in a blackened gnarly head
A rotting heart that doesn't beat
Inside of a distended heavy chest of lead

Tides that reach beyond their length
They move with all their lunar strength
Beach flooding slowly, filling every pore
In and out, the water inexorably flows
As the sea waved to the darkening shore

Chipping away in a grey quarry of steel
Fruitless endeavors, the turn of a wheel
Sparks shower around with every blow
Buring brightly for a single instant
Lighting up the sky, putting on a show

Pixies dancing in an earthy rich grove
Singing and laughing merrily as they move
Heeded by none the shadows that lurk afar
The firelight that dances with them
As they move and sway under the stars

Lonely hearts, sitting alone in the window
Ashes mar faces in the moonlit glow
Burned out and replaced with tears
The fireplace, cold dead and barren
Nothing left now but uncertainty and fear
