What is it that makes up a life?
Boxes scattered across the wall
 holding pieces of memory.
Dust coated and broken
 wine bottles,
  windows,
   mirrors into the past.
A music box whispers
 a dance,
 a kiss,
promises long forgotten.
Weathered roses and thread bare velvet
dream of youth
under yellowed lines.
Outside
the wind sings to the sunset
the beauty of dawn and creation and birth.
Twilight echoes the passion of day,
reflecting the power of passing.
The darkness speaks
a language its own,
best left for dreamers to decipher.
Rejoicing
we again greet the dawn
as dreamers let slip
Night's hidden lessons.
Dust coated memories
 scattered 'cross walls.
In light and in darkness,
Passage of Time.
The remembered, forgotten
and the Beauty of action
strung through it all.
It is this that makes up a life.
