With every turn of a page
Begins a new life
A song that speaks volumes
Not of happiness but nostalgia

With every turn of words
Begins new emotions
A millennia of ever changing shades
Colors that brighten the day

With every little punctuation
A piece of the puzzle is solved
Only to be questioned again
Through darkness or rain

With every detail
Builds memories from the first
To the edge of the earth
A fading waterfall to oblivion

With every turn
Lies so many secrets
Of late night coffees
To early mornings of splattered paintings

A little bit of everything
The turns become slightly slower
As the world brightens to dawn
The book closes

And the pages stop turning

Emotions collide within
Pieces of paper scraps naming so many events
Written over and over again
Syncing with the heart beat

With every little comma
A full stop
A hyphen
A space

Begins a new life

Through gray lights of nothingness
A cry in the wind blows away
The breath gets caught
Only to find a wave of new sadness wash over

The sentences tainted black
Somehow
Printed wrong
His words echo like waves crashing in a shell

The exact words of wisdom
Lay through the grass
As sand dunes stand tall
The facts drown

With every new paragraph
Words build
And the ones left behind
Erode like emotions do

His last words were never finished
Much less forgotten
Never a memory
Or a thought

He taints the skyline anew
Just to cling on until
A new page
And then another

Turns

The pages keep her in a cycle of violence against reality.

It's her world now.
