Draft : Song for Cai

(Draft) Song for Cai

with a smile.

this is how
i remember you,
sister;
your eyes, your face
your smile born for me,
for a love that crossed
mountains & hills,
neighboring cities,
for a happiness
that was not mine alone,

soft as white clouds,
your smile were like rose petals
fragile amidst the changing winds,
longing, and long in waiting
from its travels
in paths paved
with thorns
as roses are.

that season of summer love
has ended and died
but not for your smile,
not yet until...

...stars navigate their own maps
in daylight or in dark,
there are the seasons,
and you with your smile
a season for bloomings & harvest.

and for this song.
