A diary. All that remains
of dreams held in a young girl's heart.
The rest was washed away as rains
sundered the mountainside apart.
Her silent longings on the ground;
a diary. All that remains
are tears of loss by those who found
the tattered pages cloaked in stains.
A childish scrawl of joys and pains,
of teenage hopes that rose and sank.
A diary. All that remains
as fate leaves final pages blank.
The pages flutter in the air;
they dance to the wind's waning strains
in benediction, like a prayer.
A diary. All that remains.
