BLANKET

The green blanket,

The blue veil,

Life was simplified,

Love was pure…

Little steps, dreams unchained,

Flying along with the wind,

Flowing away with the water,

Swinging on the branches,

Holding on to the trunks,

Falling and standing,

Hurting and healing,

Life was being explored…

A distant fire rose,

The green paled,

The blue grayed,

Branches fell,

Trunks weakened,

Leaves wept,

Life flamed in chaos…

In the silence,

The rain bled,

Smoke was consumed,

Striving life sprouted,

Green waded the torment,

Blue withered the torture,

But life was fading with the time…
