You’ll live forever…
every passing has once lasted for a while…
at times unnoticed, as if none of what went down
was someone’s need, but evenso a leaping image
leaving stigma’s on a retina, a ballroom floor
a flaccid…flinching older face…
rolling water is evaporating artlessly…
returns from all of heaven, softly whispers
‘long low riverbanks and shivers
in the deepcold of the night…
it’s grinding grooves in sleeping rocks
absorbing silence, changing colours
mystifying fairywinks and light…
every sound that has been heard
bleeds into emptiness and space…
a spoken elegy, a prayer or the moving
mellow melody of tender Aprilrain…
a cry of sadness, hidden fear or heavy pain…
beyond closed lashes thoughts are floating
o’er the valleys of the mind…they are the sacred
ones your spirit let me keep here in my haven…
those that granted me mere peace, while
I was little, frightened and displaced…
oh, they shall never go to waste, my friend…
I’ll carry them around each bend in time
and they shall interlace my poetry
my bashful whirling artwork and my rhyme…
every passing has once lasted for a while…
you’ll live forever in my eyes, my friend
forever in my heart, my soul, my smile…
