REMINISCENCE

Hopes and dreams lay tangled 

softly 
in the aftermath, 
A reminder 
of the moments spent 
in the throes of living, extant.

A wild frenzy 
A race, 
To live fast and full 
in life's embrace.

A living at once 
of all the breaths 
given to me, 
Until nothing was left 
Just 
scattered crumbs of ecstasy. 

Fairy dust in my hair

Shreds of nebulae,
A legacy of the stars 
that had birthed, 
once upon a lifetime away. 

I look beyond the horizon 
into the fading light 
Where the music still plays, tenderly 
infusing the starry night,

With rapturous delight.
