She had escaped in blossoms, and her song
dried up like autumn leaves that blow away.
On the clay meadow’s edge, where colors sway
like waving ocean fields, I walked along
and scanned the painted bulbs, their colored throng
an empty sea which hid her from the day.
But in the drifting waves and my dismay,
I found a trail where petals should belong.
Then close, but far, I stood and saw her fall.
Behind brambles that kept my touch aside.
I wished with heartbeat’s pang to simply call
her name, Lori, and ask why she left me
behind to wander dream’s blush countryside
alone...but would she turn to hear my plea?
