Dying Dust
Emerald blades of grass
Underneath bared feet
Wind through red hair
Sky as blue as my eyes
Before it all went insane
A time when mud pies
And playing with sticks
Not knowing heart break…
Outside until black velvet
And winking, dying dust
Only when my name was called
Forced to kiss it goodnight
Innocence and heart untarnished
Memories still lodged in deep
The thoughts keep me strong
Locked inside the mind to keep
Before the souls loved so great
Met the same fate
As the winking, dying dust….
Before I kissed it goodnight….
One should never forget
Never surrender completely
To the cruel dying dust
And innocence from long ago.
