"Destined Minds"

LAST, LOST, LEAST

Colors drained on my window pain
tiny tears from the sky they fell
memories from a distant past
forgotten wishes of childhood dreams

last
lost
least

waterless almost silent words
in each droplet they form
but no one there to wipe my tears
no one there to hear my words

last
lost
least

cannot this heart be awakened
cannot the voice rise above the din
words choked almong the waterless tears
dreams lost so long ago

last
lost
least

so who is last? who is lost? who is least?
do you not know dreams,waterless tears
and even silent words
all pour into the river of life

all tears matter.
