Kiss the leaves

Now tosses them with

A relentless force.

The skies that once used to

Evince limitless scope

Now rage in fury

That makes many hesitant to

Let go of their fears and furore.

The giggles and cries of a child

That was once embraced

By wide eyed adulation

Now seem to seize the air

But not the minds of those

Whom it should matter the most.

The silence between two souls

That was once filled

With unsaid happiness

Now seems to be saddled with

Dust of a remembrance.

Everything that was

A culmination of affection

Now appears to be scattered.

Love and all of its stunted growth

Invades so many lives

Without a warning
