beneath a burning sun as we took shape...

And all the rest, nigh too eager to leave

After the FloodsAfter the floods have washed away life
hopes and dreams gone with each wave
sitting now by a once-small creek, rife
with catfish we never thought to save
which, though river, now also a grave
How can life itself be...

to remember those days that flew freely
Never knowing one day we'd be exempt
from carefree days, which were but fantasy
our daydreams only today's reverie
Time waits for no one :...
