Fall Apart

It was a sunny morning September 30th, 2021 We were playing with the flowers High up in a tree Branches that fit our height just right The clouds that felt like candy When the rain comes it will turn to dust When the tree grows over the years it will fall out of place Out of reach Or too much in reach, there was no way up So far down We could never reach the top again Every day the cloud would give us a piece of its candy For months it was delicious But one day it started tasting like shriveled up leaves We were high up on a hill Slowly rolling down When you reach the bottom you climb back to the top Until you give up A date last marked 'January 4th, 2022' When fears fall down like rose petals You'll learn to find new roses That'll eventually die and fall apart In the moment, you'll find joy to your rose Until it hails Until ice creeps between its petals Until it can't stand your umbrella Can't stand your flower pot Can't stand your hose Can't stand how it could bring you joy Can't stand you so much it falls apart Daisies on the grassy hill Rivers that sneak behind trees When the branches fall It would drift away with the tide And maybe you will too
