3 I have a
1 Dream
4 Fragmentary
1 Paled
5 One side is missing
9 Forgotten in a drawer corner
2 It is
6 As sweet as my childhood
5 As tranquil as a
3 Summer night
5 A bit sorrowful
8 I remember that silhouette
9 That splits dark night as a gentle heart
7 I can also remember
9 First glance, words; and her beautifully
3 Designed eyes,
2 Just like,
3 The oceans
8 Peaceful, eternal happiness
4 But I also
6 Mention the extincion
2 Of the
6 Blessed holy fire and
4 Infinite blue .
3 Just remains
3 The ashes
8 Of my heart and paled memory

The Petal
3 A petal
1 Falls
4 Down it spirals
1 Soft
5 Landing on the pond
9 Ripples are flowing outward slowly,
2 Moving
6 Farther than the eye sees
5 Taking the petal
3 Soft petal
5 Whisking it away
Isaiah Ommen
9-A
3 Rain falls as
1 Your
4 Eyes open wide
1 Let’s
5 Watch how they move far
9 Like the way you leave her silently
2 behind
