SHINING

Step by step with sweaty palms
Minding shards of broken dreams
Strong and weak in equal parts
I cannot explain quite what I mean

A time there is for flowers to bloom
There is but no season for decay
Let time be our keeper then
While we're corroding day by day

Our first kiss, an autograph
The second one I remember not
You'll turn away and fleet again
Leaving me a bundle thoughts

Outside of us the world awaits
A universe at play on the inside
You and I, we're stars my dear
Shining as we live, twinkling as we die

-K.G.
