The Inescapable Curtain

The dreams of youth germinate

Into cocoons of silky threads

Patiently woven over endless years

♥

Butterfly wings overburdened

By teary clouds

Find their final abode

Among fading flowers

Gathered in passing

♥

Memories collected

In our music boxes

Loose their fleeting hold

To awaken yet again

The dear voices of the past

♥

And the dance steps

Wind down and fade

Discreetly behind the curtain

When the box is shut

And the notes chime anew

On the shelf of our thoughts.
