No intro today, here we go...
Looking Through My Window
I see a lonely leaf defying vigorous wind
Wrinkles on it's surface have been firmly imprinted on my retinas
The last one remaining after a furious storm
Because their lack of devotion got rid of the others
Fight,
You green soldier
Fight, like the ones with whom i played as a child
Be confident like David when the odds were against him
Stay determined
As my thoughts were flailing around
The last leaf, the lone green soldier
Challenged by his opponents' last efforts
Lost his battle
Taken away from its home
Left in the dirt to rot
The tree was completely bare
Stripped of his pride and dignity
Branches were sad.
Bent.
My eyes switched their focus and
The wind kept blowing.
The time kept moving.
The world kept going.
I hope you enjoyed that one :D
