ring around, and tumbled down
she is hobbled now, she can’t run away
you could try taming her
but it wouldn’t work as before
you find her slowly fading from the picture in your mind
first the brightness of clothes
then the freckled skin
next the darkened hair
until only the eyes are left
aloof, unreadable, neither blue nor green
but even those dim
and the wind scatters the remnants of memory to the four corners of the world
the past becomes something you forget until a rainy day in the twilight of life
when youth no longer matters for you are twychild and at eternity’s gate at last
perhaps you shall remember then, but for now, forget
lest you find yourself forgotten
in ashes, ashes
good !
is it about someone mia?
I just loved the way you captured one moment of life like this! Loved the way it ended.
Bless You! ~Namaste~
