In Loving Memory

On the brown ground in the middle of green

little blushes of color keep the memory

whites and purples keep the view serene

as the pinks have stayed on between

in the foggy overcast these colors last

as the earth transitions to a new season

maybe to show a new reason

for life

As the ones that came before, under and still

Help me I whisper as I stand with the tear drops in my hand

Love come quickly help me understand

Once upon a time we lived under blue skies

With white puffs of cotton

Helping us seal the button

that kept us close

now the hands of time moved and with an unhealthy dose

changed the scene

all that is left are the brown ground in the middle of green

splashes of color create a lovely scene

as we stand in loving memory

of what used to be.
