Traceless
written by: Dr. MOLLY JOSEPH
like tears
in the rain
they fade
traceless..
the stories
you built
to grow into…
the dreams
you wove
to flee into…
the faces
you sought
as rope heads
to cross
the abyss…..
the paths
you trod
to get
uphill
where
the grass
was greener…
the smiles
that cheered
and
blurred…
like tears
in the rain
they fade
traceless….
only
the arid plain
spreads
listless
where
lilies once
bloomed….
