Sunshine, sunset
Coffees and milk shakes
Sneezing, weeping,
Candy flaws and sweet bananas,
Umbrellas and storms,
Airports and park lane shades,
Sunshine, Sunset
Memories to ashes,
Africa melts into Asia,
Bamboo drums to Hulusi rhythms,
Smiles to wonders,
Journeys and tales
It could have,
It would not have,
It will someday
The hardest shell will
but softly break,
Until seasons change.
