I wonder pass the windows

A perfect frame for the forest of stars

Bright shining balls

Glistering with lights

That falls upon the dark pool of tears

 

While the fishes crave it,

My irises reflect not hunger

Not desire

But, time, 

a time when I was on the other side of the stars,

When I would laugh, not grimace

When I would play the game, not fail it

 

So, now I stand and watch

Watch the strings of my wishes float across the water

What am I doing?

I am waiting to wake

To wish, to dream

My fading memories
