The ring.

naturecitymemorytimeloveidentity

The ring.

It is a small piece

A splinter

No more than a shard

Barely visible

In daylight

The sun bending

A parallax error

Created in

A teardrop

Dust is a boulder

Rolling down a mountain

Can you count

The fairies on a pinhead

How many souls

It will take

To fill the Albert Hall

Such a thing

As this

Is no wonder

Next to a memory

Carried on a finger

Weightlessness

Lending itself

To interpretation

With every kiss

A wish

For something better

Perhaps it will

Be more than

Ornamentation

When it holds

A little piece

Of purity

In commemoration

Of my belief in you.
