“Sometimes I look up and imagine the falling of stars,
Lotus flowers and blue five branched bars,
Towers that crumble under the weight of the sky,
Pillars way up high that come apart,
Just a glance and one wish for a restart,
Sand swirling around the world, the underside,
The deep blue abyss from afar,
The bubble that encapsulates the solar heart,
A landscape filled with craters, undermined,
The slow descent to a tectonic mars,
One of soft piano, and a bright just as blue life-giving scar,
The wide eyes of every lavender petal, frozen in time,
Every name is forgotten, even those once heard before,
The sound of the distant past trusting the future,
A world where everything was paused, limelight,
A time where it was you, yourself, and the dark,
When the silence was dead and so is everything in the floor.”
