Shift

Lonely, forgotten, green pain

            Poplars still sway,

            Hope and memories

A loss of rigid control

Mental department on leave today

Swirls of colors

            Unhindered in flight

Might they divide and grow anew?

            Sky, earth passion

                        Undiminished.

Red light emotions mere delusions

New glory still ahead

                        Beyond memory

            But forgotten fragments never

                                                Subsume

Wanting old lace, faced with fresh silk

Laughter

            Of specters

                        Of joys
