Lost Memories
a tropical flower silkend with dew float a lone in the stagnant lake water colorful sleek salmon come up and nudge you while you sit stare and ponder bring silence to one's ear beauty to one's eye softeness to one's touch emptyness to one's tongue only when it be sodden there be cry but when dry no sad breath come from one's lung the illusion of color drift above the lake remind you of the loved one you've lose above you among the heaven god choose them to take but death sweep them away from you hide beneath the frost every day you sit stare and ponder at that same old tropical flower float a lone in the stagnant water
