…is a petal sweet
We have something
that only love itself
can comprehend
we search constantly
for beauty
for the encountering
of each other
where in the moment
all memories
will return to us again
each remembrance
is a petal sweet
looking
for a place to fall
each fluttering softly
into the hand of time
ever so gently
where it is crushed
filling the air
with fragrance
transient and familiar
we pass
into our dreams
once more
it is not a departure
to anywhere
but it is always
always, an awakening
