Of Twilight Memories


fallen petals—

memories of those days

we were together


twilight

a butterfly fades away...

leaving memories behind


beach sunset

waves slowly spread...

your memories

doctors speak

of failing systems

in this world

where will I

find home

same stories

everyday…

tonight, I mourn

all that is left

unsaid
