The Revolution of the Year
For some a breath, for others a life.
Clinging onto customary rebirth
as if youth had a second chance.
Another glance shows a golden page
raging and teeming with ambient,
thriving buds so gloriously bound to the
Earth as if ill fate could not
sweep their life away.
Then the slide begins to creep about
with its taunting trickery,
calming the senses with
crunching greens of no more color.
Smell envelops the mind,
thinking nothing of time until
the brisk begins to beg.
Sliding now, colors crystallized,
eyes take longer to hold their luster.
Everything breathes slowly until left
gasping for air, but its no longer there.
Here, commences the biggest artifice of all-
Love blooms.
