but the moon has many shades,
and the canoe still has to sail
distances traveled on plains.
lost raindrops never regained.

(even as thoughts erase memories
you walk on dead grass
leaving your imprints behind)

Memories shrink as new thoughts registering, but some still exist because of deep imprints. Nice piece :)

So true, how much ever u try to put them in a nutshell it comes back as memories never fade till our last breath.

Love that last verse Alok - very poignant and so true.

Inside our hands, outside our hearts said...

Alok, now this one is lovely. I love the words, :Lost rain drops". How perfect. Couple them with, "you walk on dead grass leaving your imprints behind." Well its even better.

I always like to to think that we leave little imprints on the people and things we touch. A part of ourselves that cannot be taken back because it has joined with that person or thing.

Loved this Alok, just loved it.

soft love,
