You Live

You Live

You do you know,
Or
Even if you don't.

Live on sweet Lei
Your life was too short
Yet the sweetness of it
Spread into deserts
Of loneliness.

Gentle kind reminder
Of what Humankind
Was meant
To be.

Not bursars  of self interest
Not borders guarding isolation
But Guardian Angels
To unknown destination.

Live on Lei
In my dreams of love
On astral shores
Of searing tender white light
Where timeless sands flicker
Stardust under shifting feet
Waltzing, traipsing
To half understood
Melodies,
Sweet nothings
Crushed dreams
In dance eternal
Encapsulating
Earthly time trapped lives.

Lei live on
In my spirit
In all the sweetness and love
I'm capable of.
