Once a birthday...

Your 
old 
birthday 
yesterday 
stung my memory 
but a friend received a koru


NOTE
Inspired by Marja at Dutchcorner's post HERE
A koru is a Maori symbol for a new beginning

Leaves

just leaves 
leaves
lamenting warmth
like coloured paints drying pale
and scattered loose to the winds
like sunlight shattered
she
like sunlight shattered
and scattered loose to the winds
like coloured paints drying pale
lamenting warmth
leaves
just leaves

Lines

 lines
 connect
 and protect
 mark, guide and run
 a wordless mission
 a vision of silence
 intent on being secure
 zoned for reliability
 just like the face before me right now
 that has kept me close to his lines through time
