Memories

Swaying,
A montage of reds, yellows and oranges
Swirling and cascading
Gently and furiously
Descending to the ground.

Sun and moon
Viciously repeating
No foreknowledge of ending
Numb feeling,
More moon than sun.

Earth is quivering,
Ground is quaking,
Saplings barren
Unrecognizable; void.

Chapters turning,
No hope of erasing
The past will flow
Impossible to touch.

Memories,
A montage of elation and desperation
Swirling and cascading
Gently and furiously
Attacking the mind.

Happiness and regrets,
Viciously repeating,
No foreknowledge of ending
Numb feeling,
More regrets than happiness.

Strength is quivering
Courage is quaking
Hope’s barren
Unrecognizable; void.

Chapters turning,
No hope of erasing
The past will flow
Impossible to touch
