Life Proved Too Much
Life Proved Too Much
A culmination of factors; like leaves gathered
Mixed with acorns in autumns raked passion
Pulled callously along like wet hair straining
Through an old comb on rain drenched mornings
Hollowed collapsed buildings fall on cold snow
No longer loom as towers of strength
Against their wishes they become construction gone
Under afternoons gray cumulus cloud covers
Unable to continue on, of their own accord
To hold up under these conditions, stress
Under such pressures brought on by age
Structures tend to fall
All at once they beg the earth to take them
Separated, far from their birth as buildings
From the encumbrances of holding strong
Life proved too much to continue on
