SAD BUT PRETTY

 

The music was playing

when the boy said hello,

 

Too long without words

which allowed us to grow,

 

The music was constant

& our words were witty,

 

The music that played was sad but pretty.

 

The boy shared his answers

and a friend shared her pictures,

 

Beautiful boy beyond heaven or scriptures;

a religion himself that I'm happy to learn:

 

A memory inside me,

Where someday he might be...

 

With eyes sad but pretty that make my blood burn.
