She once wrote poetry
in the pages of a pristine book
adorned it with a petal from her garden
carefully blew off the dew and walked away
He wanders in a library
opens the now decrepit book
reads those words in the fading twilight
runs his fingers across one last time and walks away
in the pages of a pristine book
adorned it with a petal from her garden
carefully blew off the dew and walked away
He wanders in a library
opens the now decrepit book
reads those words in the fading twilight
runs his fingers across one last time and walks away
The spark was only ephemeral
brightly lit up the world while it lasted
but the rose petal is nowhere to be found
for it is long lost in the annals of both space and time
brightly lit up the world while it lasted
but the rose petal is nowhere to be found
for it is long lost in the annals of both space and time
Song in my head: Pendulum by Pearl Jam

DeleteOne day, someone would come across this page hidden in the depths of the long redundant interwebs, and ...
ReplyDeleteAnd one day she would chance upon the sophomoric blog that she presumed she'd deactivated ages ago ..
DeleteAh! the irony.
