Looking at the photographs
Haunted by ghostly images of yesterday
remembering the words
of the Secrets of Eden
And here I lay under the Dreaming Tree
staring at the sun
The warm wind blows another year
and the lotus petals waltz
towards stars above
Author notes
The past is a ghost, the future a dream, and all we ever have is now.
Bill Cosby
Quite a bit of symbolism of course. Lotus petals is the primary symbol of dreams drifting in the wind

Very nicely done. Cherokee is right, it does have this dreamy quality to it.
