Moon Shadow Mind

Far away in a land of reflection and darkness
I once drifted to the white ornament in the starry universe
And my reflection echoed everywhere throughout the darkness
Though I cannot stand the sight of me I watched and fell to my knees
Cherry blossom trees gently pour its pale petals over my skin
As I hung my head to beg and plead

Glamorous velvet heavens paint opaque light over my invisible space
The cool breeze lifts the powdery dust and fragile flower shards
Bits and pieces tripping over my footprints till they reached a silver pool
Onyx under the surface and metallic to the eyes
Remaining still till one more salty tear drips off my cheek to ripple my sad self
Till the next slow rainfall comes to greet my heart

And the clear wine glass thin water orbs float away to disappear into the abyss
With their rainbow shine elegantly swirling in odd patterns
Easily lost there is no saving them once they have reached above my head
Silently exploding with no sound or disturbance
Forever erased and never to return to float in my space
A full collection of petals fall into the pool

Time ticks and tocks away withering my blooming and dying tree
Beating and pounding in my chest my emotions seem to leak
In the calm of my mind I lean against the bark stirring the reflection of the stars
Breathing became harder than I thought the longer time danced on the ballroom floor
Soft skin scratched and scared and bleeding spilling into my blue shadow beads
Pink began to brown and I withered too the longer I had oxygen to inhale

At last the abyss has come to swallow me
No forgetting and remembering as I descend to my beliefs
Kindly leaving a small trace of what once existed
Not only a skeleton and a coffin but also the minds of many who will carry me
Keeping alive a tiny flower only visible to those who know about it
A beautiful forget-me-not eternal in the ashes of me
