The World of Memories

is like a huge sphere
lined with paths
winding in the darkness

with song
poetry
color
human being

oblique statements
perhaps silence

Eternal rest...

'Autumn rain

who have passed away
and those left behind
with memories
reminiscing and longing

autumn rain
autumn

envelopes crosses
covered in
yellowed leaves

embraces them in mist
and they become mystery
the mystery of eternity
