granite stones
the new leaves received the rain
like emerging butterflies
received their share of sun
in the stillness before the need to fly
we live so much in what is forgotten
the vase in the glass case
awaiting an occasion for flowers
the lilacs that tomorrow will bloom
the bodiless carved head on the wall
the burned down candle waiting to be relit
in the tear that we left by the polished granite stones
we pretend are permanet
like emerging butterflies
received their share of sun
in the stillness before the need to fly
we live so much in what is forgotten
the vase in the glass case
awaiting an occasion for flowers
the lilacs that tomorrow will bloom
the bodiless carved head on the wall
the burned down candle waiting to be relit
in the tear that we left by the polished granite stones
we pretend are permanet
