So it's that drought again <br />And the fireflies flitter <br />Over those sullen seaside graves. <br />To remind you of past troubles <br />Withered and worn <br />By the ocean waves. <br /> <br />So those rainbow roads <br />Over the maddening masses <br />Are beginning to lose their hue. <br />To remind you that things may fade, <br />From those ancient pyramids <br />To all things shining and new. <br /> <br />So the hurt has returned <br />Sprung from the dust's upward spiral <br />And rising from the sand. <br />To remind you that I am here <br />Hurting, swelling, craving, <br />Always dying to hold your hand.<br /><br />K.
