SPLINTERS OF REMEMBRANCE
( page 72 we promise one another.)
Someone's hair in the wind flutters a thousand miles --
No doubt it will rain this afternoon.
One hundred drops of rain, one thousand drop of memory;
I have been sad ever since I left you.
Do these sad eyes of long age seem strange?
Do they look as at an unfamilar face ?
Returning home after years of aimless drifting,
Is there a bit of your love left for me?
Every drop of mist in your eyes ,
Every stand ofhair cool nad dark as the river,
Though the years have stolen your beauty ,
Still your sad eyes of long ago remain.
I have wandered from horizon to horizon ,
But still after many years feel my soul not yet old.
Is there any of the old love
You still keep in your heart, or has it gone away ?
The hibiscus covered fence which unwillingly bid farewell
I 've not forgotten in so many days of roaming,
Someone 's hair flutters a thousand miles ...
No doubt it will rain this afternoon .
