the Melting Pot

Shoebox full of memories
rarely visited anymore
rhymes without a reason
pages of love and anguish
melting together
in quiet unity
joy
fears
laughter
tears

And time itself is ageless
changing everything
yet never changing
defined only within itself
melting together
in quiet unity
people
places
lives
years

Darkness elevates imaginations
and the stars are just pinholes
in the curtain of the night
at dawn and dusk they dance
melting together
in quiet unity
yesterday
today
tomorrow
forever
