Poem: Boundless Potentiality

Lost as they're gained,

Memories are written

Like pen strokes on water

Rippling out along the course of time.

Things that never belonged to us,

Which we cherish and hold as ours

Hearths of warmth and bitter bouts

Of an ever-clawing wind.

How many poems uncovered, forgotten

Might there be hidden here in thin air?
