A seasonal mourn, a tear or two;

A time to contemplate and begin anew.

The scorched leaf detaches and falls at the center of where it all began: to a place where it truly belongs.

It breaks away from all that held it back, from all that kept it rooted to dormancy. It breaks away and escapes the mortal world and makes its way to a place of eternal dwelling.

Dust and sand now embrace it as if celebrating the return of the prodigal son.

While back in the mortal world, its memory is washed away with each seasonal mourn.They leave scars stamped across its face. Some ignore its presence and for others it merely ceases to exist.

Scorched and scarred, it lies at the doorway through which it entered this short lived fantasy. Memories of the day when the universe maneuvered every act to bring it into existence is fading away.

It lies alone and desolate, waiting to be washed away into non existence; waiting to be buried into an eternal sleep of blissful peace.

A New Dawn

My heart feels empty, there’s a silence within
And I don’t know the reason why
A void of sorts was left in me and its making all feelings go by

I travel distant places, I travel near and far
I travel on an endless path
Everywhere I go, there’s no one who knows what had caused this aftermath

I ponder all night, I ponder all day
If I could change what has happened all this while
There seems to be no easy way as I tread mile after each mile

A hope is what I still have; a belief is what I still keep
That someday I will again be ready to fly
My heart would come alive again and will forever forget to cry

It takes time to heal, it takes time to accept
It takes time to let go and move on
But the sun will soon shine and announce to you the beginning of a new dawn!
