Night
flowers
Night flowers sway in the Milky Way
The meteor ignites an unseen stem
Painted and erased in haste
The canvas shimmers in countless
ways
Like clouded electrons they swirl in
space
Mind is the nucleus filled with
stars
Kindles thoughts kept safe deep in
time
Till the day dust settles
And arrange a new kind of life and form
The memories are then packed in tiny gifts
Left at the doorsteps of abandoned
homes.
