Promises To Return

An ephemeral encounter

Left behind

Eternal impressions in my heart.

A lifetime wasn’t enough

To live a single moment.

Forsaking the dreams

That you painted with love,

You followed the rainbow

In search of a light

Beyond the horizon.

It wasn’t your destination.

Only a phantom city

That emerged on the way

Of your solo journey.

Rest your tired soul

For you have a long way to go,

Before you sink

Into the dust beneath

To keep your promise

Of returning home

Every lifetime.
