Atoms of You.
The wave never leaves the ocean
A flower never truly leaves the earth
The sun never leaves the sky
The moon hasn’t died just because we cannot see it
You were not just a drop in the ocean
You were the ocean in a single drop
Time is just an illusion
Eternity never stops
Atoms of you now fall
As teardrops
Where you once stood
Now grows a meadow
You are weightless
Fluttering in the wind
Like a dandelion seed
You travel across the land
Multiplying your beauty
Leaving a bloom
For every hand.
