Last Days to Brightness
I found a stone among the rocks,
The stone was smooth, the rocks were rough
To the touch - a diamond it's not,
But worth more
for it will remind me
The vast volumes of memory's soul
The nativity of life in this skin
Beautiful people of the Sun
These last days of Brightness
The islands
The seabeeeze
Your moments of experiencing
Within
This bubble.
I am living as best I can
We are as we go/get
To become
"Get what you give" with what is given...
I found a stone among the rocks
We choose what hurtful words are hot
Pierce, stab, or cut
Bleeding out
The warmth of hearts
So what remains is
Rage
A sharp, sharp sword
What we say will only hurt
Each other
Silence keeps
This stone as keepsake
malleable touchable realities
In my pocket I named Lucky,
This breath of life
That we all must bury
One Day
And the story
of each a stone
A gem of thoughtful touch...
The lovely memory of
Eloquent words last spoken, not...
In vain.
I kept the stone smooth,
Among the rocks...
Sitting in the rain
Will you shower me
With love
With what words you find
And say ?
Love is a smooth stone
Among the rocks...
Reminds me of
Summers' days few
Love lost
Naught...
(With you)
