I Make A Promise

I make a promise;
When tears fall
& roll down the cheeks.

I make a promise;
When moonlight flickers
gently caressing green leaves.

I make a promise;
When muscles twitch involuntarily
going into spasm.

I make a promise;
When from the corner of my eyes
I see hope clad in black.

I make a promise;
Rocking slowly in the balcony
night breeze promising to carry me over.

I make a promise;
When I close my eyes, see you
& remember me making a promise.
