Bread crumbs,
Pieces of food,
Drying on a table,
After a meal.
Petals,
Leaves of a flower,
Wet on the ground,
After a storm.
Teacups,
Echoes of conversation,
Circles on a glass top,
After a visit.
Prayer,
Whispers of hope,
Absorbed into the soul,
After a ceremony.
Longings,
Impressions of love,
Fading in time,
After a breakup.
Rainbow,
Arching of colors,
Glistening in sunlight,
After the rain.
Hope,
Filling the heart,
Ushering future,
When all else is gone.
