In Seasonal Fragility... (collaboration with Naughtymouse)

by Meme & Naughtymouse   Feb 14, 2015


How silently the leaves fall
in the autumn, just as the
tears of humanity roll down
the cheek of the oppressed,
leaving them exposed to
winter's rage.

And as winter approaches,
it drags them down with it.
Until their fragility cracks
like a porcelain doll tossed
between children's hands.

If only they knew how to
just breathe as one, for once,
they might see the spring
ahead -a chance to plant the
seeds of the future, to play
the first note of an everlasting
harmony.

Then maybe the brightness
of summer would lead them
to their own inner glow, show
them that the harvest they reap
is by the seeds that they plant.

    I like the use of the four seasons all describing something different but related to each.
    Lovely.

    Something different yet its something that shows the pain of the world. The two of you have worked so well to make this write not only flow smoothly but the thought, feelings and images unfolds without interruptions. Well penned!!

    Using the word porcelain always has such a dramatic affect. But I'm bias.
