Shattered into Memories
I saw the lilac fade, from violet into grey
A change from cheers to psalms
On a single summer’s day
Her last whiff of scent just blew away

I saw a flock of birds leave a chilly afternoon
They flew towards the sun
Vanished behind the moon
Wing strokes sprinkled silence
In the fading light
Like dying embers, falling through the night

I kicked a lump of snow
Chased it down the trail
Shattered into memories of our bumpy flight
Resolved into eternity of white
