Elixir
I had it in my mind once
When the snow fell
It drifted, blew
Piled up in front of the door
A vision came
It scattered, fled
It was in my heart once
When the rockets flared
They blossomed, bloomed
Ash fluttered away on the breeze
A memory came
It haunted, reminded
It lived in my soul once
When the waves crashed
They roared, receded
Footprints melted into the sand
An epiphany came
It startled, caressed
And vanished
James Mathew Simmons
When the snow fell
It drifted, blew
Piled up in front of the door
A vision came
It scattered, fled
It was in my heart once
When the rockets flared
They blossomed, bloomed
Ash fluttered away on the breeze
A memory came
It haunted, reminded
It lived in my soul once
When the waves crashed
They roared, receded
Footprints melted into the sand
An epiphany came
It startled, caressed
And vanished
James Mathew Simmons
