Bonnie’s Pond

Kiwi green and iris blue
Empty alone discarded shell
Clutched sweaty in tiny palms
Childish treasures collecting dust

And we came full circle
Came, went came left
And we came full circle
But then we came back to earth

And he said he loved her
But he loved only the thought of her
she said she’d love him forever
But they lived beyond forever

They lived the full circle
But then stepped beyond its rim
they lived full circle
but the metal ripped deeply in

Unsaid words setle over time
Remember these words with all their glory
And let time erode the rest
