A single drop of dew tapers off a leaf, A single sound reverberates as it lands, A sign of beauty, a sigil of purity, But lasts not for long as it disappears. A pink flower blooms in the vicinity, Brought alive by the land, the water, the air, But time shall pluck its petals bare, Time shall undress it of its momentary flair. A lad talks with the lady of his heart, Lowers the veil with which he is always masked, But words resent departure from his stubborn tongue, Hands shake; fear grows of some imagined loss. A drenched cat at the street's end watches, Its bright eyes devour a warm sight, but alas, Hardly does it realize as it darts away with grace, Clouds part ways for a starry night, Leaving the dew and the flower in embrace.

The Things That Were
A single drop of dew tapers off a leaf, A single sound reverberates as it lands, A sign of beauty, a sigil of purity, But lasts not for long as it disappears. A pink flower blooms in the vicinity, Brought alive by the land, the water, the air, But time shall pluck its petals bare, Time shall undress it of its momentary flair. A lad talks with the lady of his heart, Lowers the veil with which he is always masked, But words resent departure from his stubborn tongue, Hands shake; fear grows of some imagined loss. A drenched cat at the street's end watches, Its bright eyes devour a warm sight, but alas, Hardly does it realize as it darts away with grace, Clouds part ways for a starry night, Leaving the dew and the flower in embrace.
