memorial day is this coming monday...prayers for our fallen soldiers. like fallen leaves...the difference is their lives were taken by violence and given in sacrifice so we may live in freedom and peace...
what a pianist...his memory lingers and had touched hearts like mine...a tear was shed when i googled him and found out that he died 2001...his music is perfect to my ears and to a lot of others as well...insanely beautiful piano pieces. i won't be tired playing it over and over again, all day and all night if i have the time...and he looked a little bit like jhong, my cousin in California :)
detached and never will be backyou've taken your last gasp
forced by the coldness around
you've fallen and rot you must
as all of us does when our time comes
a cycle of bloom and bust
a turn from gold to dust
like a haunting lullaby that's gone
like a moving melody that ended
for it wasn't meant to last
goodbye dear leaves so prim and lust
hello to another one this year a bunch
but as the wind works and the warmth departs
sadness and only memories are left behind
the smile that i had when i looked up
the awe and the grandeur in my mind
now only remnants of a song that i loved
like footsteps drowned and lost in the sand
erased by the blowing wind, so hard
covered by the suffocating grains...so sad...
