My Dead Language

Dreaming lovely

Dreaming lovely

Never cared for shadows

Unknown and stars never explored

Un-sustained by passion and overcome with grief.

Lovely drifts and lovely sits,

Upon a trembling leaf

Of glory once diminished upon a raging sea.

Less and less lovely

It waits to find yesterday,

And live now as if it is forever

Simply because lovely is not what love is not

Simple and graceful with soft warm hands.

-J Barajas
