Framed poem with Encrypted Notes saturated in flood water (written by me on a boring afternoon)
Reads:
Seeping through my window
The frigid dews of morn;
Staring as the ceiling movelessly flow
Flickering light from a lantern aglow
Rain tapping gently on our humble abode
Splaying joyfully across the road
Reminiscing a dream ever so cold
Questioning fate dreams foretold
Wandering through the edges of life
Seeing past everything and everyone aflight
Amongst every being we catch each other's sight
Staring blankly, then we saw light
We have become friends ever since;
Shared laughter even shed tears
All went on for countless years
Til we became more than dears
Everything was good, everything went on so
Butterflies flutter everywhere we go
We savor everything life has in store
Never aware of what fate really bore
Hand in hand we journeyed across the road of life
I went on though in strife
As we approach the depths of what might;
I turned, found you dissipating almost at the speed of light
I bellowed for your name but no one called;
Only then that the truth unfold
We can never be as you told
I suddenly woke as the thunder clapped
Tears fell warm against my lap
For a moment thought I it was true
But realized 'twas only a dream ever so cruel
Questions filled my brain
Pouring endlessly like the rain
My heart told me to use my head
Tears are precious, never again let it shed.
