New Poem

Hey all! So yeah, it's been a loooong time. I've been doing things and being away in Europe and that's been exciting. I don't think I'm going to post photos on here because they're all on facebook and there's so many of them. But I did want to put up this, which I wrote today. I decided it's an accurate continuation of the poem Yellow Trees, which you can see on this post. 

Yellow Trees Continued

On an Autumn night

underneath yellow trees

we came together to come apart

on a beach by the sea.

And I walk by that place

several times a year,

the trees seem to whisper

just loud enough for me to hear.

They feel just like us

both growing apart

and as seasons change

they look just like my heart.

A couple weeks after

they were nearing their death

but a few leaves still lingered

a little love left.

That’s when I first noticed 

I felt just like them, 

a witness to everything 

and barely strong enough to stand.

But as Winter progressed

I walked by again

the leaves were all gone,

all colour was dead.

I felt just as brittle

a chill always in my bones

like the smallest breath could break me

and my heart was so cold.

Then the rainy Spring came

there was growth in our trees

but they were steadily dripping

not completely at ease.

I, too, felt stronger

but still mourned my loss

I knew to start a life with colour

may come at a cost.

In Summer the trees are fully green

truly the start of something new

but whenever I see them

I still think of you.
