Atoms of You. 

 

The wave never leaves the ocean

A flower never truly leaves the earth

The sun never leaves the sky

 

The moon hasn’t died just because we cannot see it

You were not just a drop in the ocean

You were the ocean in a single drop

 

Time is just an illusion

Eternity never stops

Atoms of you now fall

As teardrops

 

Where you once stood

Now grows a meadow

You are weightless

Fluttering in the wind

 

Like a dandelion seed

You travel across the land

Multiplying your beauty

Leaving a bloom

For every hand.
