Words of
Lavender.

WRITTEN BY LYAN ISAM MUSHREF (1080322)

When the tragedy of a tale casts its shade upon my horizon
And caresses away the body I trusted would never leave me

I’ll make sure the naive depths of my soul
In all their spotless joy
Little old twinkles
Sad ridges
And scintillating glory
Recline into words that accommodate them
Words of lavender leaning in grace
In the eternal fields of paper
Rustling timelessly with the breeze that once swept within my soul

Vulnerable and wild
