I let my hand touch
a flower one day
when a leaf fell to the ground.
With no hearing
I look at it
and there it is falling
softly, without any a sound.
I look at that
beautiful flower
and a thought came into my mind,
there are so many
beautiful memories we have,
without realizing what happens
drop this one of a kind.
Still staring at that
beautiful flower
then without hearing a sound
a teardrop gathers
on my cheek
and without me trying to wipe it of
it fell softly on the ground.
I walked away from
that flower that day,
my heart crying from inside,
wishing that time
could turn around and make
those memories real just for a day
and let me rest abide.
a flower one day
when a leaf fell to the ground.
With no hearing
