They're showing in rows,
the trees hung in flowered fleece,
majestic in their offering,
blanketed snowy blossoms

Drunk at the university
Trekking towards another life,
our life's stories get passed on,

Wrought with persistence,
tender and vulnerable,
alone with doubt
tumbling forward,
...
Faded pages left behind,
dusty jackets and pearls
beyond the deeper days of age
a blood red crimson moon.
