Multi Colored Sands Poem by Michael Baughn

The Flash of Memory
A touch of Ice
A Flush of Fire
The swallowing back of tears
A longing,
The remembrance of joy before the deception
The Contentment,
The Pride
The Love

The Denial
The slow death of hope
The slipping away
Waves of beliefs eroding
Multi-colored sands washed back into the sea.

The Fear
Refusing to let go
The feeling of falling, of no longer existing
The last breath as one
The Us that will be lost
The paralyzing fear of Love that will be forgotten
