GENIE’S LAMP: Seasons Turn and Fold
By GENIE NAKANO
then there was you… transparent like clear water straight to my heart you flowed through my veins grafted onto my skin
seasons turn and fold you are young with ideals you must fight serve your country war of the world’s battles on…
there’s nothing I can do you’ve made your decision besides, I’m old enough to be your mother battles are fought by the young
I am here not waiting, but living looking up at clouds there’s hope within a new life born everyday
the young doe smells the scent of hunters it’s only a movie yet I pray for her and can’t stop crying
