Analysis of don't loose it
Slowly turning in my hand
vibrant colors, cool and warm.
Turned on it side it stands alone
without support free from scorn.
Drop it throw it bend it back
scream and cry and woo it.
Forget regret and neglect relax
but for your life don't lose it.
Hold tight so you won't lose it
accept it forgive it and adore
it with your soul and it
blooms for all the flower of time affords.
But once neglected twice scorned
it will burn out like a dying light
slow with a deepest sigh born
and reflecting unmercifully all crying.
